Coach was always kind and understanding. Cracked a joke with you. Laughed at you. When it was time to be serious he was serious. Afterward he'd talk about the seriousness in a joking way. He will be sorely missed. His class was always fun. At least I had fun in his class.

A real gentleman of the old school. I enjoyed his company and am sorry to hear of his loss. Regrets to the family.

Mr DeBease graduated PCHS with my mother Celia Pierro Meloni. He always spoke kindly of her. I will remember him fondly, condolences to the DeBease family.
