"He (Rick Behenna) once told me, when you make an opinion half the people will love you and half the people will hate you. So why not speak your mind? Speak the truth. He was full of competitiveness and compassion and he loved his family and friends. The words that come out to me when I think of Rick are courage number one with how he’s handled his illness, strength, valor, honor, integrity and character." - Andy Willis (a fellow coach and friend) in The Newnan Times-Herald (Chris Goltermann, 02/01/2012, 'Former Atlanta Brave, area baseball coach Rick Behenna dies at 51', Source)
