Coach Rowe passed away a few days ago at age 89.

Some of you old-timers may remember him.

Was WMU assistant including serving as DC from 1957-74.

A highly-respected coach and man.

Yes, remember Bill well. Was on the staff when I attended 1963-67. May Bill Rest In Peace.

Is he the father of Kim (?) that went on to play at MSU? He was a helluva player.

Yes Kim was Coach Rowe's (second) son.

If MSU coach Denny Stoltz hadn't played him out of position at MG where he suffered a bad knee injury instead of MLBer where he played in HS, he might have had a shot at NFL.

Trivia - Kim was John Bonamego's HS coach at Paw Paw.
