May the God of all comfort, comfort you during your loss.

Coach was an absolute baller. I had the pleasure of being coached by him during my freshman year at Christian Brothers and the enthusiasm and leadership that he brought to the program was outstanding. I always got a laugh out of him showing me how well he had mastered his Sudoku and crossword puzzles. My thoughts and prayers are with Richard and B.

I first met Coach the day I was looking to rent at The Monarch. His contagious smile and three pieces of butterscotch candies won me over. His stories about his time in the military and the time he was a coach for LSU and Baylor University made me proud to know him. I will miss seeing him in the halls and each time I see a piece of butterscotch candy I will think of him and that smile and his kindness. My granddaughter will miss him too, she always looked for coach in the hallway. My prayers...

So very sorry to hear about Billy Beall. He was a good friend and was always so thoughtful. His visits with my grandparents and my parents were very special. He will be missed.

My heart goes out to you, Belinda, and your family during this time of sorrow. Coach will be greatly missed. I so loved his smile, stories, and the candy. He brought a smile to so many. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Coach will be missed terribly at The Monarch. I always enjoyed running into him in the elevator, seeing his smile and knowing that I was going to get a piece of butterscotch candy. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
