I did not know him personally, but his wife taught my son, Bo, at Reynolds and Zach and Christian play football and wrestle with Bo. I am so very sorry for your loss. My sister has downs and participated in the Special Olympics as has my son Sam. Again, my family is very sorry for your loss and Bo will reach out to Christian.

I am in shock. I have admired Chief for the 25 years that I have known him. A fun loving dedicated coach and Dad. Always a smile and a laugh from him. He was a friend to literally hundreds of special needs athletes. I will miss him. Ray
