                                                           Jerry Dyes at Penn Relays?

We just received the following note from L.J. Cohen:

With deep sadness, I’m reporting the passing of an athletic legend and Coach.
Jerry Dyes passed away January 15.  He was my high school coach in 1965 at WB Ray HS. His first year coaching, we won the Texas state championship, had best time in the country in the mile and sprint relay, and to top it off, his first son was born. I’m forwarding a tribute obituary from his alma mater, Abilene Christian University.

From 2012 here is a piece we wrote about Jerry Dyes:
