Chappy was one of THE BEST softball coaches ever! Not only taught the fundamentals of the game but offered so much encouragement & support to his players! He wasn't just a coach, he was our friend! He provided us with much laughter and smiles and taught us to have fun! He will be greatly missed! He was a great role model!
