It was a real unexpected pleasure to visit with Coach on Feb. 28, 2011 at Elmer's restaurant in Notasulga, AL. He was there with Andy Hornsby. We talked about our days at Lanier and our class of 1961. When I told him that our class was celebrating our 50th Reunion that very weekend, he asked to me to tell all of "his" guys that he coached that he thinks about them and loved everyone of them. Thank you Lord for the life of this fine man.
