To all of the Jenkins family, I am so sorry to learn of the death of Mr. Jenkins. I was fortunate to have had him as my Little League Baseball coach in Swansea, SC almost 60 years ago (back in about 1959/1960). He was a wonderful young coach at that time. I remember that he was able to convince my father to make the monetary sacrifice to purchase a new baseball glove for me if I were to have good success in my Little League play. I have wondered over the years where Mr. Jenkins was and wish I could have spoken with him in later years and let him know how much I appreciated having had him as a coach and mentor. Now I know that he was blessed with a wonderful family and career.
