Grandpa Streidl

Grandpa/Coach/Jack Streidl passed away Monday April 16th at 93 years old. It's been a privilege for me to have met him and been able to call him family. He's lived a fantastic life and I can go on and on about his accomplishments. But the best thing about him for me was his story telling. He had amazing recollection whether he was recounting his days serving with the Navy during WWII or telling about the weight and playing ability of former athletes.

We had a wonderful visitation and funeral at Plainwell High School. It's always so wonderful to see all the Streidl's. And it was my first time at Streidl Field. We walked on the field before the funeral for these shots.

We love you and will miss you dearly Coach!
