You all have our deepest and warmest sympathies...I have known your family for a long time, and I know your dad was a great man, father, husband, and a dedicated Saints Fan! Even my husband and kids got to know him, and he always welcomed them. His legacy will continue through you all, and through all of the lives he has touched. Know that God's strength will comfort you. I know first hand what it feels like to lose a parent, and trust me when I tell you that God will continue to comfort you throughout these difficult times, even when you just don't understand. We are praying for you, and for Ms. Shirley in this time of grief. Know that we are here, and you always have our love and support. Be blessed, Love Chimela Thompson-Soublet, Your Goddaughter, Saria, Steven Sr. and Steven Jr., and all of the rest of our family sends their condolences.

Coach "Nookie"as he was known at Behrman Gym, in Algiers, La.
When I was 12yrs old, and played Basketball for Behrman. It was at this time, that Coach "Nookie" gave me the nickname "Big Murt", that I have been affectionately known for in Algiers, La, based on my abilities of playing Sports (Basketball, Softball, and Track).
Coach "Nookie" and the rest of the Coaches and the Staff at the Gym, were like our Second Parents, who would confront us, if we did something wrong and Influence and Guide us in a Positive Direction.
Thank You, for playing an Integral Part in My Life.
May Eternal Rest Be Granted Unto You,
O Lord, and Let Perpetual Light Shine Upon You.
May You Rest in Peace.
"BIG MURT "

Coach Nookie was an early baseball coach of mine; I played for a Behrman NORD team and will always appreciate the time he gave to me as a youngster. He impacted many lives in Algiers - please accept my condolences.
All the best,
