Words can’t express how sadden I am to hear of your loss of Coach Claypool. To say Coach was a larger than life character would not only be a huge understatement but it would belabor the obvious to the point of absurdity. As you know Coach was an incredibly gifted individual with a good heart that touched the lives countless individuals and not just through football. I am a better man today because I met Coach Claypool and was very fortunate to have him as my Coach. Although I have many memories about Coach in the relatively short time I interacted with him. I would like to share with you one of my most significant memories. It was during my junior season in fall of 1970 and we had a team meeting in a temporary classroom. Coach told us about how past players had visited him and they all mentioned that they wish that they could have played harder and performed better on the field because the opportunity to do so had now passed and would never come again. The statement made an impact on me and when my ten short weeks of being a BMOC ended in the fall of 1971, I knew emphatically what Coach was talking about back then. I have used that experience and others to motivate myself throughout my life. Coach really did not get the credit he deserved for the many little things he did that touched and benefited people’s lives. However, I think he was ok with that. He was a strong individual, with a compassionate side. I am still amazed by some of the things I have recently learned about him. May your hearts be filled with the many wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate the life of Coach. Please accept my prayers and heartfelt condolences and I hope that in some small way they help through these times.
