I never met this coach but I understand why he meant a lot to many people. His son has been instrumental in keeping me healthy for many years, and when I first asked him about how he came into his profession, he spoke with reverence about his father and his father's passion for working with athletes. The apples never fall far from the tree. Thanks and codolences to Joseph, Joyce and their three children. Chuck DeLaney
