He was a wonderful husband and father, who relied on his strong Christian faith to provide the foundation for his life. I also was fortunate to be raised by a football coach who had a reputation for coaching the right way his entire career. He was admired by everyone who played for him or coached against him.”

He was one of the nicest men I have ever met. Bobby Bowden was a strong man of faith, and an amazing coach. May he Rest In Peace.
