"I always feel like that was sort of his true love, he loved us and his family, but he really loved soccer more than anything else," said Sarah Rhoades Gouttierre, his daughter, who is also asoocer coach. "He passed that love of soccer to his kids. It was something special that we shared growing up. That was a big part of our relationship with him, his guidance and support in our soccer careers."
