To you Coach, for all those circuit miles, for all those everlasting words of encouragement (Give me the " best" you got, everything else will take care of itself. "... Thank you Coach, you were THE BEST. Gary Burgett `71

I knew Coach Love only by reputation following him as a young faculty member at Erwin. I knew this. The students loved this man. He was a true hero.

Coach Love lived across the street from us in Dora. He was an excellent teacher and Coach. He took a real interest in me and my brother Ray as football players and we thought the world of him. RIP Coach...

Coach Love has a special place in my heart. In August 1972 he allowed me to join the football team several weeks before the start of the season. Later he sought to start a chapter of Fellowship of Christian Athletes, which I suspect was motivated by a spiritual awakening. Thank you coach for what you did for me, the athletes and students at CHS. David Cook, 75'

Offering my deepest sympathy for the Love family in this time of grief. Sorry for your loss. May the peace of God comfort you through this most difficult time.

Very sad to hear about the passing of Coach. I have many memories of him on the baseball fields at Moncrief coaching our park league teams. Great coach but a better man. We love and will miss you Coach.

My deepest sympathy for a coach that will always be in my heart -it´s been 45 yrs since I left Gardendale but the memories seem like yesterday playing ball and wrestling for Coach Love & Coach Franks the best - Johnny & Denise Fowler - Valdosta, Ga
