Words cant be expressed by the community you served, the athletes you have taught, mentored and coached. You sir have shaped the physical and mental abilities of student athletes that you have encounterd. To be able to make an impact on so many it takes a selfless and kind heart and most of all a commitment to all. I truly beleive that an indivudual who crosses many paths and is so transparent is a leader, mentor, teacher counsler and most of all to me a Coach who always would say "do it right do it light" in the many sports Ive witnessed that presence. You are remembered by the light that shined and how bright it is sir you will never be forgotten.
