Poetic Obituaries: [Wilbur] Braithwaite was a World War II veteran,

an accomplished musician, credited with writing the school's fight song. He was a published poet. He won numerous awards, including National Coach of the Year--representing Manti in 2002, carrying the Olympic Torch as well.

But his friends say all the accolades meant little to him. They say his main focus was helping his students become winners in life, not just in court.
