I WAS A TEAMMATE OF SY AT BELL. A GREAT TEAM PLAYER / A GREAT TEAM LEADER / MOST OF ALL A GREAT PERSON . I LEARNED SO MUCH BY WATCHING HIM COMPETE. HE HAD THIS COMPETITIVE NATURE THAT MADE YOU COMPETE . HE NEVER NEVER QUIT/ AND WAS RELENTLESS IN EVERYTHING HE DID. I LEARNED SO MUCH FROM HIM. HE WILL BE TRULY MISSED. Coachdline@gmail.com
