Condolence From: Lew Keyser III (Lewie) & family
Condolence: We are so sorry to hear of Mr. Powelson's passing. He was a living legend, an icon at North Carroll High School. While I didn't play any sports that he coached, he always believed in me as a musician, especially the one that he asked to play The National Anthem at all of the sporting events. My mom told me that the recording I made for him after I graduated, he played for many years until the cassette tape broke! It was an honor to know him.

My favorite story (there are literally millions) was during gym class one morning. He needed some upperclassmen to paint the lines on the field for the football games for the weekend. A few of us students were supposed to stretch a piece of rope from one end to the other, and then paint over the rope. That was a good plan for the first few lines, until we realized that the process was slow and tedious. We noticed that the old lines were still faintly visible, so we decided to just paint over the old lines, free-hand style. We never heard the end of it from Coach, since the lines were nice and wavy, not the straight lines that he had hoped for! Oops...

Thanks for everything, Mr. Powelson. Our condolences to the family.

Condolence: I would like to express my sincere condolences for the passing of Ed Powelson. It was a pleasure sharing our Olympic moments together and seeing him in the local gyms while I supported my grandsons' NC athletic events and he continued to support the high school teams. Rest in peace, my friend.

Condolence From: Tony Christiani class of 1990
Condolence: It was an honor to have been taught by both Mr. and Mrs. Powelson! He left a wonderful legacy at NC. I can hear him now counting out super fast to his infamous neck rolls for warm-ups in gym class and I've always wondered how many times in a day he would say "Hey Catbird"!! To the entire Powelson family....May the memories you hold dear to your heart and the stories you will share provide you peace and comfort in the days, weeks and months ahead.
