Joyce and Kristen, We were so sorry to hear of Otis' passing. We thought the world of him and he will be sorely missed. He was one fantastic man and a great coach. Stephen will be forever greatful for O getting him into Ferrum and in their football program. Our prayers are with you. Steve, Dale, Stephen, Chris and Sami
RIP Coach! I will always remember you as a real positive in my life. Fond memories of the (2) a day practices in HOT August that felt like they were going to kill us but only served to make us great. The Fighting Blues will never forget you! What a wonderful season we had when we went 10-0 in 1971 and beat Lexington! I know you loved hunting and fishing as much as I do and you will be missed in the outdoors community. To your family go my condolances. You were a hard nosed coach but you also had a big heart. I will never forget that. Oh how I wish we could go back to those unforgettable days and feel the joy we had playing the crazy game of football. Some things you just don't miss until they are gone. May God's comfort be with your family.
Coach Timberlake was the best of the best when it came to our Fighting Blues! I was scared to death of him, I had him for Behind the wheel class. He made me find the distributor cap inside the engine and I found the oil filter! When I asked him why I had to know this, he very calmly looked at me and said that if I didn't know, some day some garage person would take advantage of me. He was so right! He made us great in the 70's, and I will always remember him fondly!
RIP Coach. Will always cherish our fishing trips with the TruslowÃ?¢ââ??‰â??¢s and all those hot summers (football practice) and the day we all played flag football in the mud…Thanks Otis.
Joyce, Kristen, I was saddened to learn of Otis' death. I hope you both are doing as well as can be expected under the circumstances. Sincerely, Bill
