Died yesterday at 88. Reading through his obit, his time at BG was huge.

The Sentinel and The BG News have obituaries posted.

Googling around last night, the man has a pretty amazing lineage...

Unfortunately, it appears that if a former University president dies and never lost to Toledo, had a player leave the team, or finished last in the CCHA, he doesn't make a sound... Though don't forget that it was on his watch that BG hockey became a varsity sport, as well.
