My heartfelt condolences on your loss. I knew him as Coach McElroy - always 'Coach'. He was an intense man. I remember him fondly. During my years on the Margate Colts, he pushed me [and my teammates] to be our best; to be bold; and work and sweat [really] hard. His dedication to the team, to the responsibility he brought to coaching us kids, every evening, week after week, motivated us to take the game, to play the game, with the same fervor. He practiced us and scrimmaged us like there was something at stake far beyond a junior football league game or championship. In retrospect, I have come to understand that 'something' as character building: whether our parents were aware of it or not, he was out there every night ensuring our futures. Generations of Margatians owe Coach McElroy [and his family] a debt of gratitude. And looking back, I don't think I got the clipboard on the helmet censure more than once.
