As a member of the NNHS Class of '65, I am sure I express the sentiments
of most of my classmates when I say I will forever cherish watching
"Cootie" referee Typhoon basketball games. He has left us with many fond
memories. My condolences to the family. July 11, 2011
"Cootie" was often a
thorn in the side of NNHS fans. Having graduated from NNHS I think
he worked extra hard not to show favoritism and trust me, he
succeeded. He provided Typhoon fans with many memories. Rest in
peace, "Cootie".
~ Ed Nichols, Reston, Virginia July 11, 2011 To all the family and
close friends of "Cootie", I send my deepest regrets. I have been
very fortunate to have known him for fifty years. We shared many
beers and stories over the years, and I always looked forward to
seeing him. I saw this great man at the YMCA in recent times; he was
still working out! I've always thought of Cootie as a friend, and
will greatly miss him. My best to all. Henry Hughes July 12, 2011
One of the best
refs...ever!
