Naples GATORS Youth Football, Cheerleading & Dance League: In Loving Memory of Jack Poole

In Loving Memory of Jack Poole
It is with a very heavy heart that we say goodbye to Coach Jack Poole.  He had been a dedicated Coach of youth football in Naples for almost 40 years. Coach Poole died on December 29th 2008.  Coach Poole was an exceptional man and had a knack for connecting with his players, whether through pep talks or funny antics.  On any given day you could see him out running with his players, challenging them every step of the way.  His teams always had great respect for him, both on the field and off.  He tried to make sure that everyone knew they could count on him.  He was an effective and dedicated leader and was always there to help parents, coaches, cheerleading advisors, and most importantly our children of Naples.  He was truly one of the most dedicated volunteers in youth sports for our community. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Poole family.  Donations can be made to Naples Gators youth football in honor of Jack.   Coach Poole, you will never be forgotten!
