Everyone; my heart is filled with pride. Pride from the seeds planted by Mr. C "Himself" have carried on with all the people that he crossed the road of life with. I believe that we all are enhanced by the spirit and wisdom we absorb from people we come in contact with and that special something that can never be found in a book no matter how trivial it may seem at the time. For those that experience his coaching philosophy you'll remember some times his decisions were by the book and sometimes he used his one first rule of life survival....."Guile"...attached soon, John will post a photo of Mr. C holding one finger...in which his statement was ...you need at least one thing in life...."Guile"...That Photo is on my desk as I type and has inspired me to pass on this generations long O'Crowley Clan secret, dating back to the royal families whom we protected from County Cork and Roscommon in the 1600's...at least, that is what Mr. C told me!!!!
Your tributes over the years always touch my remembrances and pride. Your contributions to my sister's goal are heartwarming...of course less we forget how many times she was strapped with her teddy to the bench during our double session batting pratices....Sorry Sis!!!!

Jimbo, obviously your father must have been lecturing Johnny on something!

Those water jugs you made me carry to your batting practice when I was 4 sure were heavy. Teddy? What teddy? Oh, you mean the one you held for ransome? Haha.

It was an experience of a lifetime
