Coach Nedeff was a class act. Through example, he taught everyone he coached to respect others, to be honest, to always give one's best effort, and to be a team player. I'll never forget him saying "Cleanliness is next to Godliness". He was a gentle man, a member of the "greatest generation" who put his life on the line to save our democracy and the world. He was a humble man, an unsung hero. I'm sad to know he is gone but I will never forget him.

Mr. Nedeff was one of my history teachers at Tecumseh. I always enjoyed his classes. He and my father became friends during the many levy committees held for Tecumseh . I am so sorry for your loss. He will be missed.
