"Coach Moton" was my first football coach upon my moving to Corpus Christi in June 1973, from the town I now reside in - Willow Springs, MO.

The 'Lions" practiced on Kostoryz Road near Staples. It was just an undeveloped area in 1973. I suspect it is where the Del Mar College for Economic Development center is now.

I recall Coach Moton's assistant coach was an African-American gentleman by the name of James. James could throw a youth football what seem to be 50 yards with a flick of his wrist - UNDERHANDED!

I also recall my stepmother, Joyce Majek (My-eck) Pringle stating that she attended Miller High School with James. My former stepmother was a majorette during the time that Johnny Roland was a Miller Buc. He went on to play in the NFL for the St. Louis Cardinals. Must have been the senior class of 1961 or 1962.

Thank you, "Coach Moton" for the memories, and may you rest in peace, Sir.

My deepest sympathy for the Moton family. I met Robert when I coached at CCYFL and he was truly a great friend and mentor who's tireless efforts to this community will not be forgotten.

Mr. Moton was my neighbpr and my fondest memory was either walking and stopping at his house just to say hello or passing by in my car to wave at him. He always had the biggest smile. I remember  one day going to take him some cookies and he was so greatful. It's going to be very hard passing by his house and him not being there to wave at.  Im really going to miss you my friend. RIP Mr. Moton. Love always.

My dear uncle and 2nd father you will forever  be in my heart. I love you you will always be in my thoughts. Rest In Peace I know you and my dad will be watching and always be your family protectors. Until we meet again.

Robert was a special man and friend. We worked together at CCYFL as board members and youth football supporters. I shall always remember his smile, wisdom and can do ethic.

Rest In Peace, Robert, your work on Earth is done. My sincerest sympathy to his family for their loss.

Whenever me and my family would come to visit,Mr Moton and myself would sit in his driveway and discuss life in general.I will always cherish that time spent with him.

I came to know Mr. Moton thru his daughter Angela (my best friend).  Mr. Moton always had a smile on his face and a welcoming spirit. I viewed him as a man of great stature, integrity and a great provider for his family. May God continue to bless, comfort and strengthen the Moton family through this time.  May the grace of God be with you all and God Bless!
