Prayers for the former hokie.
For whatever reason, I would run into him on campus rather frequently. Very nice and engaging guy. Prayers to his family and friends
He went to my high school in Hampton (Kecoughtan) and was our head ball coach and gym teacher when i was there in the early '90s. Prayers to his family.
Prayers for his soul as well as comfort and peace to the family left behind.
