My deepest sympathy goes out to the family of Coach Bechtel. He was a man who will be forever in my thoughts as one who inspired and influenced my life in so many incredible ways. Everyone around him was made a better person just having known him. His lessons in life will never be forgotten. My prayers will be with you all. God bless.
