Big House Gaines’ legacy lives on 10 years after his death
Posted Apr 17, 2015
The beauty and elegance of the Big House Gaines-Clara Gaines relationship is still there. Clara doesn’t mind talking about how it’s been nearly 10 years since her husband, Clarence “Big House” Gaines, the legendary coach and athletics director at Winston-Salem State , died at the age of 81. That day — April 18, 2005 — was tough for the Gaines family, his legions of former players and the vast network of friends he had accumulated through a life well lived.
