Mourning the Loss of South Milwaukee’s “Coach”

Longtime South Milwaukee High School football, baseball and basketball coach Brad Knoche has died.

Here is his obituary. And there is a touching tribute to Knoche in this Fond du Lac Daily Reporter column by one of his former players, Doug Whiteley.

From the obituary:

He was a passionate educator and took a special interest in his students in and outside the classroom. With great love, he supported his children and took pride in all their accomplishments. Brad loved Mary Kay unconditionally. They were a great team and devoted to each other. He was active in the community and belonged to South Milwaukee Lions Club, where he served as past president and longtime treasurer. He also served as Parish Council President for St. John’s Church in South Milwaukee.

Did you know Knoche? What will be his legacy?
