He gave his heart and soul to this team for 22 years.
Cone led the Alaska Franchise to have one of the most number of championships with 13.
He was there when Alaska made its first appearance in the PBA Cahmpionship in 1990 but eventually lost to Purefoods. A year after that Alaska made a comeback to the PBA Finals and this time they made sure that they will take home their first ever title against the crowd favorite Ginebra San Miguel.
In 1994 Cone's team started a strong run in the PBA.
Alaska Milkmen built a strong team with "The Flying A" Johnny Abarrientos, Jojo Lastimosa, Bong Hawkins, "The Jet" Jeffrey Cariaso and Poch Juinio, they also had Sean Chambers as their import, this line up brought Alaska Franchise 8 Championship in 14 Conferences and in that run, they won a very rare Grandslam in the 1996 season.
