William Clarence WIRICK

RIP coach.

Jim, John and TA,
All the comments from the various people your dad touched during his life are a testament to his character and your genetic makeup. Take heart in that. It was my pleasure knowing him through you. I am so glad Jim and I were able to join him for a beer at Dales bar in Maumee not long before his last call. Stay strong Wire Bros!

Mr Wirick was my Science teacher and also my football and track coach at Libbey. He was a great teacher, coach and mentor to so many of us. We were led by his example. He was a great guy with a terrific sense of humor. He will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Our condolances to the Wirick Family and Ann. I met Bill late in life while
at Holiday Park Fitness Center. We had many conversations regarding keeping in shape. My wife Nancy had Bill as a teacher in his first years at PHS. We managed a few golf days together before he gave up the sport. You will always be remembered Bill. God is good.

To the Wirick family, I am so sorry for your loss. I know what it is like to loose a wonderful father. You are all in my prayers.

Tom and family,my sincere condolences. I read with great interest the tribute to Coach Wirick printed in 'The Blade'
He was a coach to me and a teacher.
His enthusiastic approach to teaching I remember quite well.
I was deeply influenced by a conversation I had with Coach shorty after the passing of Bill Jr.
The world has lost a fine man

Tom & family, may the Lord comfort you during your time of loss. Coach Wirick was my football coach & mentor for 2 years at Bowsher, and your brother, Bill was one of my best friends. Cherished memories will last forever. John 14; 1-6 Let not your heart be troubled...
