Coach Petty was my brother Bobby's coach at Miami High School. We all were members of First Baptist Church in Miami. He was a great postitive influence on the many lives he touched. We all loved "Coach" and extend our deepest sympathies to his family.

Coach Petty planted seeds of character. These seeds grew into trees. These trees

forever.

I also have fond memories of Coach Petty, especially during many summers at Camp Jourdin and then when his family returned to the Cobre Valley to coach at Globe High School. My condolences and prayers are with the entire family.

So many memories of Coach Petty from my early childhood, from his deep voice singing in church, to his telling stories around the campfire at YMCA Camp Jourdin, as well as watching him coach. I will always have wonderful memories. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
