My sincere condolences to the the entire Linn family including his wife and Marty. He was truly a great man, legend, and coach for Governor Mifflin who's memory will live on forever just like John Gurski at Wilson. I heard stories that Big John and Ray were good friends and saw each other many times over the years. I got to know his son Marty Linn from being on the same committee when we were creating the huge and famous Gurski-Linn Trophy. I really like Marty alot and I'm greatly...

Fond memories of Ray Linn when he came to West Reading High - loved by all who were taught and coached by him.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of Coach Linn. He was a great leader and friend to many in the Governor Mifflin community. He will be missed by all who knew him.

Marty and family and Mrs. Linn - My deepest sympathy on the loss of Coach. He was a significant influence in my life and made me a better athlete and person because of it! Many wonderful memories and little tidbits of wisdom. He touched so many of us and made our world and lives so much better for knowing and working with us both on and off the fields. My thoughts and love to you all.

Condolences to Mr. Linn's family and friends. He was my algebra teacher and coached many winning games of football, especially against our biggest rival, Wilson HS. We were so fortunate to have to many great teachers at Mifflin. Rest in Peace, Mr. Linn and thank you ! Avis Richardson Wyckoff

He will be missed dearly by the Fries family. Such a great man and a wonderful neighbor.

I am saddened to read this news. A truly great man who touched so many lives will be sorely missed. My condolences to the family.

In 1967, Ray Linn was well-known as a coach of champion football teams. I knew him better as an amazing algebra teacher. He had the gift of taking a complicated problem and patiently breaking it down into steps the class could understand. How lucky I was to have had him as a teacher. My deepest condolences to Kate, Marty and their wonderful family. Louise Miller Warren

In 1967, Mr. Linn was known mainly as the coach of a championship football team. But what shouldn't be overlooked are his abilities as a math teacher. He had the gift of taking a complicated algebra concept and patiently breaking it down into steps we could all understand. How lucky I, and all of us who encountered this great man in the classroom, were. My sincerest condolences to Kate, Marty and the rest of the family. Louise Miller Warren
