I've had the pleasure, and heartbreaking opportunity, to follow Coach Fischer trials and tribulations in the last year, through a couple of his close family friends. As sad as is was to hear discouraging updates, it was also heartwarming to hear about the overwhelming support and assistance provided by the Louisa community.
Additionally, Coach Fischer continued to "teach" right up to his last breath. He epitomized the "never quit" rule he taught. And he reminded us daily that you face your problems head on, and you "find a way".
To know what he endured with grace and dignity, should serve as a reminder to all of us that our day to day problems are truly "nothing".
May God's Grace provide comfort to Coach's family and friends, to his players, and to the entire Louisa community.
A few from Louisa will know what this means..., damn Coach, if we had known it would get you so riled up, we wouldn't have told you that you couldn't go on the field!!!
