Coach Herring was one the greatest men of my life. Growing up without a father at home he showed how a man should be. Love you Coach.

I lost a great friend. Many memories come to me. Bless your family, I feel your sorrow.

Coach Herring was a great man of integrity and faith. He was a motivator and developer of men. He was not the stereotypical "coach" in that he cared about his players outside of the football field and that they were successful in life. I will never forget when I was working on a research paper about Martin Luther for AP European History and he engaged me in a 30 minute conversation about Luther's work.

Robert' s family and my family were best friends as we grew up in Louisville. He was five years older than me and I knew David better because we were closer in age. He taught us swimming lessons and I watched him play on probably the best basketball team we ever had. Robert had such an outgoing personality and always kept us laughing. He was a great friend, outsta ding athlete, great coach and fine man. My sincere condolences to all his family and friends. Kenny Holland, Eupora, Ms
