Pray for our old coach, please!

[squaw]

For those who played for Coach Troy and those who knew him well, just thought I'd pass along this request for prayers. I was told that he is in the hospital after having a stroke. I can't say this is for sure, but I believe my source and it won't hurt to pray for him regardless. He is such a nice man and the players who played for him all loved him. He was tough but fair. Hang in there, Coach Troy!!

I can truly say he loved everyone of "his guys"

I was in the Hospital pretty much on my death bed with little chance of surviving and he went out of his way to visit me in the hospital AFTER I graduated. He had nothing to gain and I was not a star player by any means. He did it because he really cared about us.

I really can't say enough about him - you just had to be one of his OL to understand the impact he had on us as young men. More than football he , well I can't put it into words

My opinion is Troy and PJ Granger are what PNG is about.
He took a lot of flak as head coach and it hurt him to the core. We became friends and still are 36 years later. Unless you were there - you just can't understand - HELL OF A MAN

Good story bark!!! Glad you pulled through.

You know I understand because I prayed for you many, many times, too! If you hear how Coach Troy is doing, please post it on here. I will continue to pray for him.

I think he is out of the hospital. I have family that live by him and they are going to check. I know the guy who told me defenitly knows, he went into detail what happened. He travels Mon-Fri. I will see him Sunday and ask.

Hopefully not too bad. We have to remember he graduated Beaumont High '60 - that puts him about 68/69 - they won the state baseball title that year and he went to Kentucky.

Really, without getting corny he is one fine man.

Nothing corny about loving your old coach--a lot of people do and everyone respects him.

Talked to Ms. Bobbie and one of his girls. Butch is 71. He did have a slight stroke, but he is better and will be going thru some therapy. As Bark said, One Hell of a Man.
