ibecbcafion What a rare privilege we had in knowing Coach Johnny Walker! Upon learning that our beloved Coach would be with us no more, our reactions were stunned. Johnny Walker would be with us no more? When the sudden shock was over, we realized that Coach Walker would be with us, forever in our memories. He gave that little special something to everyone he knew, before our games, the prayers were not for special glory, but that each one only do his best. We wonder why, when he was so young, that he had to leave us. That is not our question to ask. While Johnny Walker lived his short thirty-two years here with us and his beautiful family, he projected clean living, generous sympathy, and taught good sportsmanship - win or lose. As years go by and we live our individual lives, may this book be a reminder of a man with true and beautiful Christian principles. Let his life be such an example, that we may have an influence on others, as he had on us. Our Coach will linger in our hearts and memories forever! Large was his bounty, and his soul sincere Heaven did a recompense as largely send He gave to Misery all he had a tear He gained from Heaven twas all he wished No farther seek his merits to disclose Or draw his frailties from their dread abode fThere they alike in trembling hope repose The bosom of his Father and his God from Thomas Gray
