CJ was my friend and hitting partner for many years. We bonded over tennis, but grew closer by sharing our mutual faith and love for our families. CJ was kind enough to agree to be my assistant coach at Oral Roberts University in 2004 where we won our conference and played in the NCAA Division 1 Championships that year at UCLA. One fond memory: Our birthdays fall on the same month and day, so we would both go to Denny's each year for their free birthday dinners! CJ, I look forward to reuniting in Heaven and playing tennis on courts of gold. Thank you for your friendship.
Ken & I were so grieved to hear of C.J.'s passing. It has brought back so many good memories of when we were neighbors on 18th street. C. J. was a wonderful person to know.
Praying for you Barbara & Family that your faith in God will carry you through.
Ken & Jan Grindstaff
