Condolence From: Richard S. Bailey
Condolence: Very sad for Coach's Family, and his Friends. I knew him growing up at Maple Lake, as a basketball and football player for the Indians. He loved Bridgeport. And, Coached the Indians very very well during his tenure. I am sorry I could not make it to the services, but, Bill Watson let me know about it. I enjoyed eating lunch in his office for a few years. Always bubbly. He will be missed. I will miss him.

Condolence: I pray for the comfort of Mr. Kerns family in the loss of him! He taught me in High School, and I am so sad to hear of his passing! He was a great teacher, coach and person! Not to sound selfish, but his passing takes away my youth! 😥 Psalm 18:2 The Lord is my rock, my fortress and deliverer: My God is my Rock, In whom I take refuge!

Condolence From: Bunie & Evelyn Harper
Condolence: Dear Matt, Hilda & Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you in the loss of your dad. Our memories go WAY BACK......even before you were born, Matt. I immediately connected to your son, "Dutch's" nickname. I knew your grandparents well. Bunie is very ill in his nearly six-year battle with colon cancer; that's why we aren't at the visitation. Take care. With affection, Evelyn & Bunie
