Played football for Miami (the Redskins back then) and an excellent coach at Miami and Northern Illinois, among other places. 82 years old. Condolences to his family.

I remember him mostly for when he coached at Indiana. Didn't even know he coached at NIU. Reminded me he was the coach at Miami U when they had those great teams in the early 70's - and had the big win over LSU one of those years when they were dominant between around 1973 to 1975.

Miami U TE Tim Wlliams from Northwood HS, who played for Mallory, also passed away in early April.

I lived in Northwood from about 2 years old until I was 10. Tim played on my older brother's baseball team (he was a year older than my brother) and showed his athleticism early on when he made a running over the head (his back to the plate) catch in Little League against Dunbridge that I still remember. It was just like the Willie Mays catch off Vic Wertz (from videos I've seen) - or at least that is how I remember it. Everybody in Northwood knew Tim Williams. That is a shame. It did bring back a number of memories of Northwood though. I can still remember things about that small town that I will never forget. That was when neighbors were truly neighbors and looked out for each other all the time.
