But he left a lasting legacy among the students he taught and coached. The Lancaster native and USC Honors College graduate worked as an assistant principal at Richland 2’s E. L. Wright Middle School. But he also had influenced young lives at Darlington High School, where he was an assistant principal and coach, and at Batesburg-Leeville High School, where he was head baseball coach. “Many students will tell you he was more than an administrator, he was their mentor and friend, guiding and encouraging them when they were on the wrong track and praising and applauding their victories,” Richland 2 officials noted on the district’s web site. Along with his parents, he is survived by his wife, Melanie Free Rollings and a number of other relatives and friends. Carolyn Click [2, 3] | |
