Ken Iman Obituary
The Philadelphia Eagles announced Sunday that their former assistant coach and sales executive died Saturday at his home in Springfield, Pa. No cause was given.
Iman played with the Packers from 1960-1964 and in three straight NFL championship games, winning titles in 1961 and '62.
He also played for the Los Angeles Rams from 1965-1974, when he started 140 straight games. He was the team MVP in 1972.
He was offensive line coach with the Eagles from 1976 to 1986 under three head coaches: Dick Vermeil, Marion Campbell and Buddy Ryan.
After his playing career, Iman served as a sales account executive with the Eagles for a decade.
A native of St. Louis, the 1960 graduate of Southeast Missouri State is survived by his wife, Joyce, who is an accountant with the Eagles.
Funeral arrangements are pending.

Dear, Dear Ken,
It was YOU who formed our son as an executive in Sports Management. You both sold suites for a particular football team. Our son was new to the art of the sale. Though a humble soul, our son happened to be wearing his Yankee Conference ring one day at the office. It was then that you flashed your Green Bay Packer Superbowl ring. Our son never wore his ring again. In such a subtle way you showed our son what greatness is.
Thank you, Ken, and we know that you are resting in peace at last!

Joyce---You truly landed one of the best ever. I have so many great memories of you, Kenny, Robbie, fishing excursions in Ventnor, laughing with the Dougherty crowd, painfully strong handshakes. Good friends are eternal. Rest in peace my friend.

To the Iman family,
We are sorry for the loss of your loved one. May the comforting words from family and friends continue to strengthen you, and the fond memories of your loved one continue to provide comfort to you.
May you also find a measure of comfort and peace in God's promises found in the last book of the Holy Scriptures: "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." 2 Peter 3:13; 1 Cor. 15:24-26
