One of my favorite football coaches passed away yesterday. I’m sure I will find out what happened soon. He was only 49 years old. I have many great memories of him and how much he motivated and cared for us kids during and after football season. He will be missed. Here is the information for the funeral home about him.

Sad news indeed. It’s one thing that we are getting older and know that our teachers will be passing before us. But Coach Dib was young. Hell, I went to school with his sister Kim!
I know a lot of us students made fun of Coach Dib’s eating habits. But we all would find out later that what you said was true. He was a good teacher in the class room and a great teacher outside of it, too.
