John Shearer: Random Thoughts About Tom Weathers, Ralph Potter, John Lennon, Roland Hayes, Jack’s And Christmas Coke Cans
Saturday, December 12, 2020 - by John Shearer
Like many, I was saddened to hear about the death of former Red Bank High football coach Tom Weathers at the age of 81.
I understand he had unfortunately battled dementia-related issues in later years, but many in the community, on the other hand, have great memories of his coaching and, perhaps more importantly, the positive life skills he taught.
As a childhood member of Red Bank United Methodist Church and because my father, Dr.
C. Wayne Shearer, had his optometric office in Red Bank, I was always attuned to the goings on in that community.
