My deepest condolences to the family. I spent alot of time at the Baucom house in my teen years, playing foos ball and just goofing off. "Dan the Man" was always warm, friendly, and welcoming of all the teenagers that came and went. He was always very gracious and kind to us all. He will always be a part of my O.A. memories. He was vocal on the football field and the basketball court. He was one of our favorite parents. When ever I think about Mike, Stuart, or Glenn, I think about their Dad. He was just the greatest.
