I'm still in shock and mourning over this. If Coach were here, he'd probably, humbly, tell you that it was me who helped HIM, but it was really the other way around. Although my time here -- and my marital issues -- preceded his, it was really his steady, strong and concise wisdom back to me . . . to ALL of us . . . that really saved my marriage.
There were others here who helped me save my wife from her affair, but it was Coach and Greek who helped me permanently save my MARRIAGE.
And Greek? In the middle of her mourning over this sudden tragedy, she takes the time to reach out to ME by phone to tell me how important my friendship was to Coach, and how much he respected my advice! I'm simply blown away by that; I have no words.
RIP, Coach. God took you WAY too young, but your legacy will live on in all the marriages you helped save, all of the individuals (especially men) you taught to stand strong, and all of the young lacrosse players you helped forge into fine young men. You taught us all that "You can handle it."
