Robert George Friberg

Coach Friberg was as instrumental in developing good student-athletes as he was good football players. The years I spent with his teams on the sidlines during the 80's was a defining time in EK's storied history and certainly my life as well. The rare bus rides after an EK football loss were painfully quiet as you know. The wins which were many, were celebrations of victory and the Friday Song. Coach Friberg was a winner. Fortunately I knew him outside of football. A quiet man at times, he...

Rich my prayers go out to you and your family.

I was shocked when I heard of the passing of Mr. Friberg. I grew up with the Friberg's and Williams family all my life. He was such a inspirational man and a great coach. When Mr. Friberg retired from EKHS, there has not been a football team like he had. You have our deepest sympathy and if there is anything we can do, please let me know.

Dear Julie, Rich, Karen, and Scott,
I miss Bob so very much; he was a fantastic brother. All of you know how much I loved him. He was my role model as a former coach. I would frequently call him for advice when my team faced a difficult opponent. In fact, in life I would call him for advice with life's problems. He had a heart of gold. I thoroughly enjoyed going to your home for various parties with all your friends from the Kentwood area. Everyone always made me feel at home. All of you...

my heart and prayer's go out to you and your family at this time, robert was a great teacher and friend to us all we will all miss him deeply.. my god look over this family today and always .class of 1983

MY DAD AND MY MENTOR. I'll Miss you!

Dear Julie and family,
I must have missed some details of Robert's latest health and I was shocked to hear of his death. I'm so sorry. I would have loved to have known him when he was healthy and so full of life. He struggled so with chemo and many health issues relating to the chemo. He was always so nice to me and thoughtful. I'm sorry for your great loss. Lots of encouragement to you. beth
