Carmen:
I only met you one time when Durfey brought you to his sisters funeral. Durfey’s mother took care of me when I was little and gave me my first dollar bill. I still have it. Durfey and his family were dear friends. I was his same age so we were friends all through school. Durfey was well loved here in Poteau. I am so sorry. I am praying for you and his family in these difficult time.
I grew up with durfey from elementary through high school. Have so many good memories. Our thoughts are of you and your family. He was my friend. God bless and he will give you strength for this day. Charles and Mary schrodt.
Coach Thompson made a huge impact on my teenage and early adult years. He taught me many things about myself and my inner strength and ability to persevere.
Please know that he truly made a difference for many student athletes. I am a better man and father for knowing him.
Godspeed.
Coach Thompson was our coach at Putnam City Central Jr. High in the early 80s. He had a commanding presence both on and off the field. He was a fine man.
Rest in Peace Coach.
