Brenda. I was so sorry to read of Bills death. I grew up in Truhart VA and William Hale,as he was known to me, was our neighbor. I was just a little girl but remember him so well. Nancy South Johnson

Mrs. Littlepage,
I am so sad to hear of the passing of your husband. Coach Littlepage will always have a special place in my heart because when I think about him, it reminds me of my dad. Some of my favorite memories as a child were the Thomas Dale-Hopewell games of the 1970s. The day of a Knight-Blue Devil game always had a different atmosphere around the Davies house and that was a tribute to Coach Bill. We knew it was going to take a monumental effort to beat the mighty Blue Devils who always seemed to bring their A game. Yet, even though they were rivals on the court, I still remember our family and your family at the beach together and coming to your house for dinners. Thinking of you and wishing you health and happiness.
