Not sure what to say?

Coach Mac coached me for 4 years at CSU and he made such a positive impact on my life, encouraging me to play baseball, where I otherwise wouldn't have the chance anywhere else. Not only did he teach me about the intricacies of the game, but gave me the love of the game that I still take with me to this day. I love you Coach Mac. Hope you are "Swinging Hard, Running Fast, and Keep Turning Left" up there.

You always made me smile you were so sweet and happy we used to sit drink coffee and talk about life you always told me how we were going to go somewhere I remember we went to the park looking for you and you just didn't want me to leave you really made me feel loved and appreciated I will always miss you you are truly a great hope they have baseball up in heaven so you can show him how good you are rest in peace thank you for making me feel loved
