John Wooden

The world lost the best, with the passing of John Wooden. He transcended his occupation, a truly great man.

My favorite story about John Wooden was how he steadfastly wrote love letters to his wife, Nell, , even after her passing (twenty four years ago).

On Friday, he asked his son to give him a fresh shave. When his son asked why, John responded.

"I'm going to see Nell."
