Not sure what to say?

I still remember in Pop Warner football Coach Bill Lippe not being happy with my play on the defensive line and to show his displeasure, squeezes his head into one of the other player's helmets and lines up against me in the offensive line to teach me a lesson and yes, he did.

I am deeply sorry for your loss--it is a big one--but I feel extremely lucky to have had someone as special as Bill in my life. He had the most extraordinary heart combined with defiance and fearlessness, I never left his company without walking a foot higher on the way out the door. I adored my funny, sweet, and brave friend Bill,...

My deepest sympathy to Penny and the entire Lippe Family. Bill was the head coach for my Pop Warner "Gold Team". Bill changed my life by instilling in me a belief in myself and encouraging me to be the best I could be. I never looked back once he instill that confidence and swagger in myself. I will always be indebted to Bill Lippe for what he did for me. Rest in Peace Bill!

To the Lippe Family: My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.

I am so sorry for the family's loss. You may find comfort through prayer and God's loving promise found at John 6:40.
