Rest in Peace, Coach P

| August 5, 2017

Ara Parseghian died this past Wednesday.  He was 94.

Most remember him for his days as head coach at Notre Dame University.  Others remember him for his post-coaching work supporting medical research aimed at curing multiple sclerosis (his daughter was a sufferer) and Niemann-Pick disease Type C (the genetic disorder that claimed 3 of his grandchildren).  By all accounts, he was a truly fine man.

So, that’s all nice – but why this article?

Like many if not most men of his generation, Parseghian was a vet.  He served in the US Navy during World War II.

Rest in peace, Coach P.  Hopefully the Celestial Team has an opening for a coach.

Rest in Peace, Coach. Thank you so much for your contribution in attempting to eradicate disease but also in teaching values to the youth of our country and your service in the Navy.

Most successful tenure of Irish football in the modern era (would put Lou Holtz 2nd). Retired at a young 51. RIP coach P.
