I read over these comments - again - and am - again - inspired by Coach Bell.

Coach Bell You never rested in your time here on earth. And in doing so, you brought out the best in yourself and everyone around you. You gave us all what we needed and we will keep sharing what you taught us and what we learned from you. We all got this... we all will continue to inspire the world around us. Open up your chest and let your heart out! For you now Richard... It´s your time to rest, rest in eternal peace. Love you Coach
