I was saddened to hear that my coach in High School passed away. He was a really good coach and influenced me to go to Campbell University, where he had also gone to College and played basketball. The years have gone by quickly and it seems like yesterday that we were in High School. It is my hope that he found Christ along the way and now he is at peace in Heaven.....Bruce
