Excellent work Jay. How fortunate we have been to have had this man lead US for 25 years. I met him twice and walked away humbled both times. Each time I felt I needed to be a better person. 10 minutes with that man and that’s what I walked away feeling

For one with “writers block,” I would say you hit it out of the park. A great man gone, but will never be forgotten!!!!!!

I don't get things right at times. However, in this case I did. When you asked at the beginning of the piece what one word best defined Coach Robe, I made a stab at it. At the end of the article when that one word was revealed, I realized I had made an accurate guess. I won't state it here to encourage others to read the tribute.

Even in the moment of their greatest sorrow, the members of Tony Robichaux’s family responded with the class and grace the legendary UL baseball coach always displayed at Sunday’s memorial at the Cajundome Convention Center.

Robichaux died Wednesday in New Orleans after two heart surgeries. From 3 to 9 p.m. Sunday, thousands poured into the Convention Center to help honor the winningest baseball coach and arguably the most respected coach in Ragin’ Cajun athletic history.

The board has been eerily quiet today. Maybe 3 posts all day. I know everyone is mourning and the sadness is great within all of us. What more can you say? I don't know I'm still in shock. It is gonna be weird seeing someone else walking out of the dugout to go talk to pitchers or walking towards home plate to meet with the umps and opposing coach before the games.

But the social media has not been quiet. Finding and reading the tributes from near and far is very satisfying. Robe never promoted himself. Never. I always thought he was an underappreciated leader locally because people did not know his true mission. I am happy that so many people are sharing their stories about his impact.
