Adam, who will always remember his father's amazing life advice and selfless guidance, Kevin, who will always remember his laugh, spirit, and wisdom, Cooper, who will always remember all the years of being coached by his father, not only on the athletic field, but off the field as well and Zachary, who will always remember his father telling him to give 110% at everything you do.
