Fundamentals

Today's Post-Gazette includes a featury obituary on Mr. Garry. It includes the 2002 photo above by Matt Freed and this quote from Cincinnati Bengals Coach Marvin Lewis (FC Class of '76):

"What he instilled in me, and all the Fort Cherry players, was a sense of how important the fundamentals were and how to do things the right way," Mr. Lewis said of Mr. Garry.

"He never cursed at us. Instead, he instructed us and treated us with respect. I think, in some regards, he was even a little underappreciated for exactly how good of a football coach he was."
