Mr Sacra wore a permanent smile and was a hoot to be around. I'll always keep the fond memories of the great guy that he was to us kids. And I can appreciate his dedication to and sacrifices for the youth programs so much more now. I regret missing the notice of his passing till now. My condolences to Mark and the rest of the family.

Mr. Sacra and my dad, Bob Cherry, grew up together in Denison and roomed together at A&M. They both played football.
My dad passed away 4 years ago, and I am sure he is glad to be able to visit with Ralph again.

I can't think of anyone that I remember more fondly than your father. He was a great leader and more improtantly was fun to be around as a kid growing in Houston.
We will keep him and the Sacra family in our prayers during this very difficult time.
May God Bless You
