Not sure what to say?

Mrs. Kingsford, Tommy and Kyle,
What a special person Coach was to so many young men striving to find their way in life. I know for one I am grateful for the opoortunity I received to live my dream to play football beyond High School and graduate from College. I am not sure that we all connect the dots that lead us back to Coach who gave us the start on our life's lessons. I am terribly sorry for you loss, please be reminded of the many positive impressions Coach made on so many people...

Mrs. Kingsford, Tom and Kyle, I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Coach Kingsford. I was fortunate to have played football for coach Kingsford in 1975 – 1977. He was a great inspiration to me and others not just on the field but in life.

Dear Betty,
Was so sorry to hear about Tom, you and your family have been in my thoughts and prayers. It was always a pleasure to help you and Tom at the pharmacy, I've been gone for awhile but was always updated on you both thru my daughter Jennifer. Tom was a great guy and will be deeply missed. Take care.
Sincerly,
Judi Krossman

Dear Betty and family,
Carolyn and I send our warmest thoughts and deepest sympathy to all of you. Tom and you were always so gracious and good to us, and you both touched our lives in Cedar City in ways that I will always remember with great fondness. "Though much is taken, much remains."

My sympathies to the Kingsford family.

I was fortunate to have have played football for coach Kingsford in 1964 & 1965 as a Polson Pirate. In addition to coaching football, Coach Kingsford was teaching life lessons which have been invaluable to me.

His spirit and character will be missed by everyone who knew him.

Mrs. Kingsford, Coach and Kyle,

Our entire family sends its deepest sympathy.

I have fond memories of Coach Kingsford visiting practices and games while Tom (jr.) was an assistant coach at Skyline High School. Coach Kingsford always took time out to talk with me personally during those visits and he has truly left a positive mark with so many of us. What a tremendous life -- full of family, friends and fun!

All our love,

Mike, Ron, Vicky, Jill and...

Thomas, Sorry to hear about your Dad passing away. I send my sympathy to you and your family. I am glad I got to meet you at Highland High School, you are very nice.

Betty, Tom, Kyle
I am but one of the many people Coach Kingsford had an impact upon during the course of his life. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from and play for Coach Kingsford. Please accept my heartfelt condolences for your and our loss.
He will always be "our Coach"

Betty, Tom and Kyle, I was deeply saddened to hear of Tom Srs. passing. Coach Kinsgford was an inspiration to me on how important it is to treat people with respect and dignity. I was very fortunate and honored to have run into Tom, Betty and Kyle in Cedar City a couple years ago at the El Rancho Motel, is that ironic. I was ble to introduce him to my family and tell my kids, "This is my coach, he influenced my life". Take care, you are all in our prayers.
