My heart goes out to the family. I supervise the garage and Coach was an awesome guy. I just loved talking with him every time he would come to the garage for service. Thanks for all the wisdom and knowledge you shared. You will definitely be missed, Earl Lowery

My best memory of Coach Green telling to focus more and I could accomplished anything in life. I didn't understand it until year later. I thought I was focus. But he saw the potential in me as an athlete and crazy driver. Rest In Love Coach...
