“Pretty sure he had been diagnosed with leukemia in late 2006. His family history is tragic - son also dead of leukemia and a wife disabled by Parkinson’s I believe.”

He actually was diagnosed in 2004. Didn’t announce it until late last year.

RIP Coach Walsh.

As a long-suffering Falcons fan, I hated playing against Walsh’s SF teams, but I also recognized what a great coach he was. I wish we had him in Atlanta.

RIP Coach.
