I do not mourn the passing of my Coach. I am grateful that God put him in my life. You want to know if God is real look at this man’s life. He was more than just a teacher and a coach. This is what he did not how he lived. This man bought young people together for a purpose that bought meaning, hope, laughter, and love. Whether it was on a field, a court or in a classroom, friendships were forged through trials and challenges to achieve something other than wins, loses or grades. It was about learning about ourselves, can we rise above our circumstances and finish a lesson, a test, or a game. The true score or grade is reflected, by the joy in our hearts and lasting memories in our minds. My lasting memory is that big smile from ear to ear on a mountain of a man I call “Coach.”
We will not be judged by the size of our bank accounts, homes nor power, but by the number of people that we helped along the way. Jesus said it is better to give then to receive. He gave the ultimate gift of eternal salvation. Jesus has welcomed Coach home – “Well done good and faithful servant.”
God Bless you Coach,
Michael "Maxie" Basenese
