July 31, 2020 at 9:35 pmI am so sorry to hear about Bill’s passing. I appreciate that Sandy called and left a message for me letting me know. I had also tried to find information regarding his death I didn’t find any information until this post. Tony, Denitra and Sandy I am so sorry for your loss. I have many fond memories of you kids while growing up and your family. Love to all of you.

August 1, 2020 at 12:00 amSome of my favorite soccer memories are from the time when I played on the Duck ‘N Diner team with Coach. He was no nonsense at practice and he knew what it would take to win, we all loved his energy and enthusiasm and fed off of it, even if sometimes that meant we had to run to “the bush” as punishment. We had seriously intense warm up drills that we would do at each of our games and they always intimidated the other team. Looking back, this was such a great tactic by coach and it always pumped us up before every game! Coach taught us the true meaning of discipline, hard work, and persistence. We won several championships based off of those lessons. I truly miss those days but those of us on the team still stay in touch and reminisce often. I will always cherish those memories. My sincere condolences go out to the Eubank family. I will keep you all in my prayers.

I’m am so sorry to hear of your dad passing. I loved Bill. He was such a good person. He loved the two of you. Every time I’d see him he always told me what the two of you were up to. He will be missed so much.

August 2, 2020 at 11:04 amVery said too see Bill’s passing. He was always a sweetheart. I met him thru Geneo and always knew when I saw him he’d ask how Sister Sarah was. My prayers are with his family during this time.

August 4, 2020 at 1:19 pmCoach was an amazing person. He instilled so many values into each of his players. He taught us what teamwork, hard work and determination were all about. I will always have so many fond memories of my time with coach. From the Bush of Knowledge (we all dreaded to be sent to), pie sample days at practice (which everyone loved), our warm ups (short to tall) to the countless championship games we played in. Coach will always hold a special place in each of our hearts. I am so sorry for this great loss, my sincere condolences to Denitra and her family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

August 4, 2020 at 2:46 pmWhen one reflects on life, it can seem like where you’ve been is a series of disconnected experiences that have led to who you’ve become. But, occasionally when time thrusts a matter in front of you – as in the case of a loss – we can often find meaning. That is the case for me with Bill.
I hadn’t thought much about the man in quite some time but as I reflected on his life with my childhood friend – Tony – I was struck by how large Bill’s image stood out in my memory. He was my best friend’s father, my youth soccer coach and, aside from my own Dad, one of the men I was around most growing up. And, he left an imprint – one of a larger than life personality, a bit of a maverick who did it his own way. He was intense, sure, but when he laughed, you couldn’t help but light up yourself.
As my coach, he was tough. He didn’t take any guff: we played for fun and we played to win. But, when he gave his approval, you knew you had earned it. As in sport, it was elsewhere. There was no time for complaining and little reason to do something half-heartedly. Basically, have fun, don’t mail it in, and leave it all out on the field. That stays with a boy.
Simply put, he showed me – however indirectly – what it meant to go against the grain, to cut your own path…to be Bold! And, I believe I have carried some of that with me my whole life. For that, I am thankful. And for my dear friend and his sister, my heart aches for your loss.
