Coach Emmett loomed large in my life during my most formative years. His mentorship and guidance transcended the sports he was coaching. Indeed, our football practices were a perfect metaphor for life: you're going to get hit hard. You're going to lose. You're going to feel like crap, and tired, and ready to give up. Coach taught us to get up. To hit back. To keep fighting. And to win. And if, after giving it your all, you come up short, then you hold your head high and lose with grace. I'm so lucky to have had such a man teach me those lessons. Thank you coach. We will always remember you.

I know that words are inadequate at a time like this, but I wanted you to know how very sorry my family and I are for your loss. May you find comfort in God's promise at Revelation 21: 3 and 4.

So sorry for the loss of Mr Emmett. He was truly an instrumental figure in my childhood and someone I always held in the utmost regard. I will always have wonderful memories of my youth and growing up 2 blocks away. He was always welcoming and treated me like family. I will miss him.
