Tommy Moore, Executive Secretary of the Houston Football Chapter of TASO has suggested that all Varsity crews working this weekend, duly observe a moment of silence prior to breaking to their respective positions on the field for the kickoff.
In addition, when arriving at the game sites this weekend, crew chiefs are requested, if at all possible, to have the PA Announcer read the following statement prior to the kickoff:
" On Monday, the Houston Football Chapter of the Texas Association of Sports Officials, lost one their own, Justin Springer: Houston Chapter Vice President, Educator, Missionary, and Family Man, succumbed to cancer after a short illness. The Greater Houston Football Coaches Association honored Justin this past year with it's Distinguished Service Award for his contributions and service to the game of football and to the community. During his tenure on the Board of Directors, Justin trained over 600 new high school football officials. He dedicated his life to his wife Karen and to their children, not to even mention the thousands of students that he instructed as a teacher at Pearland High School as he was an avid inspirational leader to all that he encountered. Tonight, all of the members of the Houston Football Officials Chapter of TASO work with a heavy heart and humbly ask that you join them in a moment of silence for their fallen friend and mentor, Justin Springer."
