I had Coach Kelliher as a gym teacher for the swimming unit in â77 when I was a 100 pound freshman. He found out I was on the Girlâs swim team and I got to pull him down the pool to show that size difference doesnât make much difference when youâre trying to save someone in the water!

Knobby made this young football coach feel welcomed. Football purist. Great basketball official. Witty sense of humor. One of a kind. Kurt Gundlach

He was a respectable and fun guy to know and compete against. Many exciting contests. A mentor to many young people. Rest in peace. Former Baseball and Football Coach, Sun Prairie H.S.

So sorry for your loss. My two brothers (Norb & John Schachte) knew Knobby and spoke of him often. They played ball with him in High School. Thoughts go out to the Kelliher family.
