As FAMUans, we all have our favorite coach and Coach Tookes was at the top of my list. I learned the basic fundamentals of golf from him which has been a part of my life after leaving FAMU. I will always love this man for what he gave to me as a student and a young Rattler.
As we move forward in life, let us not forget how Coach Tookes touched all our lives with kindness and generosity to our beloved Alma Mater and community. He will always live in the heart, mind and spirit of Rattlers forever. Thank you friend, counsel, mentor, coach, professor, father, great administrator and visionary for creating the Florida Classic for 70,000+ to enjoy annually.
What a Mighty Rattler you were and thank you Lord for giving Hansel E. Tookes to all of us! Your presence will be missed but not forgotten.
