Coach Moody may you rest in peace. I'm fortunate to have been able to cross paths with you as one of your players at VSU. Even now...years later...as I coach football myself I find myself echoing the same phrases to my players as you once did...I can still hear you loud and clear Coach as if it was yesterday.."Sam Bradley!!" My condolences to your family..

This one hurts...
Coach Moody inspired me in so many ways to become the man I am today. I played quarterback for him at Elizabeth City State University. He was more then a Coach and more like the father I never had. He has been that person in my life who helped me make those life changing decisions. After college we would talk often. My family would visit he and Dr. Lessie Moody and they treated my wife, kids like family. He was Heaven sent to a small town kid who he always inspired and encouraged to always do your personal best in all endeavors in life. Going to miss the you Coach. Forever Greatful

To the entire family; I offer my prayers and condolences. George was one of my earliest influences to become a runner. He watched me and the other boys racing up and down Hobson Street. Once he saw I could keep up with the guys who were 4,5years older than I, he began to encourage me. I was in elementary school at the time. I ran all the time after that. I later went on to Virginia State, where I ran for the same Coach that George had, William "Pete" Bennett, who also grew up in Portsmouth. I will always appreciate! what George did for me and remember him with fondness.

George and I were football teammates at Virginia State University for several years. He was always a class act, a very decent person and a true gentleman. On several of my visit to the university after my graduation, he treated me like a king. I will miss him much.
