Condolence: Debbie, Chrissy and Justin, my heart is broken for all of you. I have such wonderful memories of the days I would spend at your house growing up and the friendships we had. I will always remember him working in the garden, fishing with Justin, cleaning the pool for us or driving me home, once again, because I was too scared to spend the night. I also have great memories of the my days at EBHS at the football games with Ralph the coach. He was a great man and my prayers are with all of you in the days, weeks and months ahead. Time does make it easier but the heartache never truly goes away. We love each of you.

Condolence: You were one of the most energized people on game day that I have to this day ever met. You cared about those boys both on and off the field! You were a great friend and so easy to talk to. You, Coach Hop, Coach Stevie Edward help so many of us get through the day to day of life. You will be missed by many. Prayers, Love, and hugs for your family. C/O 89

Condolence: Ralph Hensley was a great Coach and Man. He Coached both me and my son Cody, at EBHS (1988) and RHS(2009) Ralph taught me the value of hard work and toughness. Ralph wasn’t afraid to say a prayer before a Football game, Pioneer nation will forever miss him.

Condolence: I have many wonderful memories of my time as a student at East Bank High Scholl during 1973-1976. Coach Hensley and the other coaches loved teasing me because I was easily embarrassed and would giggle. He and the other coaches were so talented and they had a special brotherhood. We were truly blessed to have them as part of the Pioneer family! RIP Coach.

Condolence: May the Lord bless you and keep you, Ralph. My old friend from the days of Williamson High School. I am thankful for your friendship and the kindness that you showed to all of your classmates. I offer my condolences to your family and pray the Lord will comfort them.
