Known to many as “Coach Ferguson”, he dedicated 35 years to young boys as a baseball coach in Hattiesburg. He is best known for his years coaching Rice Potato Chips in the Dixie Youth Program. Once asked about his experiences, Coach Ferguson summed it up with “I’ve never coached a bad boy.” Many young men learned valuable lessons about sportsmanship, values and teamwork along with some good basic baseball skills. All one had to do was mention a former player, and Coach would recall their position played and who else was on that particular team. He took great pride in his experiences and often stated that he received so much more from his coaching than any player ever did.
Contributions of his time were always a gift Mr. Ferguson was willing to give. He led Cub Pack 11 in the early years before Hattiesburg had any organized youth programs.

He made it his home and raised his family.
Mr. Ferguson was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 64 years, Frances Staats Ferguson, his parents, Herbert Bye and Frances Beauchamp Ferguson, a brother, Herbert, Jr. and his two son-in-laws, Ronald A Krizman and C. Wayne Chatham.
