Robert Owen Fountain

Hal and I work for the Fountains at the Rocket Club, then kept in touch via Christmas cards. I still have those Christmas cards.

As a swimmer with the Glass City Aquatic club in the 1960's I was a beneficiary of Coach Fountain's dedication to kids. Coach Fountain and his coaches gave a tremendous amount of time to help us be not only better swimmers but more importantly better people. My condolences to his family.

My deepest sympathies to the family. Many fond memories of Coach and family from my swimming days at UT. There wasn't a coach anywhere that took care of his swimmers better. He worked hard to help us become the best swimmers we could be, but more importantly, through his advice and consistent example, he worked equally hard to make us better men. No small task considering our habits of getting into mischief. I really enjoyed seeing him and catching up at UT games since then. He will be missed greatly!

Sincere condolences on the loss of your husband, father and grandfather. May your memories sustain you now and always. Pam Randall and family

Very sad to hear of Coach Fountain's passing. I swam for him at UT from 1975 thru 78. He was a good guy and coach who genuinely cared about his swimmers. I have thought of him fondly often during my life.
