“Gone, but Not Forgotten”

My Tribute to a Champion Al Copeland, Sr.

This book pays tribute to my father, Alvin Charles Copeland, Sr. My father was a great man with a great heart for people. He loved life and winning in life. He was successful because he prioritized people and family over materialistic things. He was a winner that lived for a challenge. As the eldest son, I am proud and humbled to have the opportunity to continue his legacy and fulfill the tasks he left behind. I am honored to endorse this book as a motivational tool for anyone who may be facing a challenge, setback, or obstacle in this life. My father never gave up on life in spite of disappointments; he was relentless about making the best of any situation. During his battle with cancer, my father never gave up. He was a born leader, motivating father, and a man of influence. As you read the pages of this book, I know you will be encouraged to live your life to the fullest. I know that something in my fathers life will help motivate you to face every circumstance, or setback with a winning attitude. Today I challenge you to take on the attitude of a champion. Champions are determined risk-takers that are often the center of attraction. Champions never die; they just live out their lives through others once they pass away. Thank you for helping me pay tribute to a true champion, Al Copeland, Sr.
