I found out a lunchtime from my sister that the track & field and general athletics coach that has worked at my high school for over forty years passed away last Saturday. And while he was never my field hockey or softball coach, he taught a lot of the gym classes at the h.s. and was beloved by not only me and the kids I went to school with, but by a lot of the parents of students and other teachers, who had him for a coach when they in high school as well. Every time I saw him in the halls, it was always an enthusiastic "Hey, Coach!" And he would always remember everyone's name, whether you ever ran track for him or not. I guess it's just one of those sad moments of getting older... knowing that a great, kind person who always made me smile isn't there anymore.

I'll miss you, Coach! You inspired us.
