In memory of Walter Payton (1954-1999).

Coach Wade,
What a thoughtful thing to say...and it truly sounds like it came from your heart and Walter's. I am sure that he would be honored to have coaches doing that in his memory. That's what he was all about. Doing good for the kids. I live about 20 miles from his house and he really was an incredible guy! I have friends whose kids went to (public) school with his son. He always kept himself available to all and willing to help all. So yes, please give some of his generosity to the less talented...that would be a perfect tribute to football's "Sweetness".
