I played for Coach Grimm at Bishop Ireton. His reputation as a tough, no-nonsense man preceded him. Me, being a Green Bay Packers fan saw him as a reincarnation of Vince Lombardi. He was tough, demanding, insightful, yet he was a coach, a mentor, he cared for his players. He wanted to inspire them to perform to their best. he left a imprint on me. At 67 years old, I am a better person for having played for him and known him as man.

I knew "Mr Grimm" or "Coach Grimm" ( the manner that I would address him) or "Stormin Norman" ( as we referred to him amongst our friends) as the father of childhood and high school friend Ed Grimm.

Mr Grimm will be missed by many and sincerest condolences to the family Kevin Kady
