We would at this time, are honored to extend our hand of compassion due to the passing on, of Coach Booker. Coach was always humble but, had that fire of competition within his spirit. He truly cared for and loved the youth that he coached and taught, and he has left his mark upon us all. He truly cared for and loved his family, as evidenced by our last conversation several months ago a football camp, as I was honored to meet his young granddaughter. She was hanging on to his every word and was step for step with him. And to his family, friends and loved ones, we sincerely pray for your strength and peace of mind during these most difficult times. And to everyone, Be Well!
