Prayers for your family. Coach Harris, as I knew him, was a teacher of mine and coach who I learned a lot from and very much respected. He would always ask me why I was afraid of him in class (and then just smile)! I have fond memories of him and will be praying for comfort for your family.
My condolences to the Family of Joe. He was one of a kind. Loved life and all that it held. Both of his families will miss him. I enjoyed getting to know him from Yahoo Chat. Many friends miss him also. He made an impression on many through his kindness, his humor, and his attitude. He is missed by many. God Bless them one and all.
