It’s a small thing, but it would have a huge impact.

If you would like to leave a message, a note, a few words for the family of South Whidbey High School boys’ basketball coach Henry Pope, who passed away Thursday at 57, there’s a simple way to do it.

Go over to this site: http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/henrypope, sign in to the guestbook and leave your thoughts on a man who made a great impact on the children of Whidbey Island.

Give his family a place where they can go and see what he meant to his community, his friends and all those whose lives he touched.
