My prayers are with Coach Prossers family. Truley a great man who influenced so many people. I was fortunate to play for Coach at Xavier. He would tell us, "the most important thing you leave behind on this earth is your legacy". Coach, your legacy will be remembered forever.

My sympathies go out to the family, especially because 8/4 marked the 10th anniversary of my own father's unexpected death due to a sudden arhythmic heart attack. I spent many grief-stricken days knowing that the prayers of others lifted me up when I was unable even to pray for myself. Be sustained by the knowledge that you are all lifted up in prayer.

I will make # 901 in adding comments about Skip Prosser. Today a peer teacher mentioned that he went to the visitation having met him in Indiana and always remembered him. To put this in prospective, we live 3 miles from Clemson. But I like Skip moved here from the Cincinnati area. I like all will mourn a truely great man. As a student I went to all home games during the last 3 years of the "Bones" McKinney Era. Wake is a strong family and Skip was an vital part of it who will be missed by all. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family in this time of tragedy.

We were deeply saddened of the death of such a wonderful man, coach, husband, dad, and mentor. Skip gave us all such pride in being a part of the WFU 'family'. Our sympathies go to his family who shared him with so many of us and allowed his teachings and encouragement to be seen and felt here in the US and abroad. We will deeply miss him.

As a parent of a recent Wake graduate I want to express my deep sorrow for the loss of a great human being. I once read that "when someone dies a child is born". If that child turns out to be half the human being Skip was the world will be a better place.

Please accept our deepest sympathies, from Wake parents and student. This Wake dad is also a Pittsburgh native, cradle Catholic and Steeler fan. Skip did us proud in every aspect of his life. Without ever having met him, we miss him and grieve with you at his passing.
