I played for Coach Rose in 1987-88 season at Chaminade College Prep; he was an outstanding and consummate practitioner of the game. Without a doubt, his superb tutelage on the gridiron and off , was immeasurable. I'm sad to hear only now of his recent passing. He will be fondly remembered, if only for the one year I had the opportunity to play for him. He sponsored my award for the Brian Piccolo scholar athlete before my graduation. In a time of the radical zeal of Dade and Broward County football of the late 80's, he instilled quiet confidence in his mastery of the Deleware Wing T offense. I'm sad that I couldn't have told him about the Man and Physician I've become. Please extend my warmest greetings to his wife and family.
Sincerely,
Dr. Edward McCollum Stellmacher MD
