    Medley Family: Please accept my deepest sympathy on the death of "Bones," as I knew him back in the day. My brother, Jim, keeps me informed of events in Steubenville and obviously passed along the sad news of Mr. Medley's death. He was just a great guy and I know he and my dad were always close. I can remember the day Mr. Medley got me involved in coaching at Roosevelt School, it seems like yesterday but I know it has been a long time ago. Again, please accept my condolences on his passing. Your family will be in my prayers. Ed Looman Ashtabula, Ohio
