Mr. Munn was an unforgettable character and excellent coach: knowledgeable, supportive, tough--but never mean, and a lot of fun. No one's voice on the sideline could motivate you quite like his! I'm very grateful for the positive impact he had on me during my years of playing sports. Mrs. Munn and Liz, thank you for sharing him with the countless young women who were lucky enough to have him as their coach. He will be missed.

Kathy Liz and Josh, I am so very sorry for your loss, words cannot express the sadness I know that you are all feeling. Herbie was one of a kind and I am so grateful that I got to meet him and spend time with him and all of you, and Nancy. He will be missed by so many and that is because he was loved by so many. I will miss all his little crazy jokes and the way he would tease Nancy and everyone else around him. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this very difficult time.

Love you all Denise Thoden

Kathy, Liz and Josh, hard to believe. Such a loss. We will miss Herbie so much. We will miss Herbie's robust laughter and digs. He had a way of saying things that only Herbie could say. We always looked forward to gatherings with the Flanagan's and also Easter with the Munn's /Flanagan's. God bless. Herbie's spirit is with us.

Something I found that I wanted to share: Those we love remain with us for love itself lives on, and cherished memories never fade because a loved one's gone. Those we love can never be more that a thought apart. For as long there is a memory, they'll live on in our hearts. -

I am so very sad to read about Mr. Munn's passing. He was not only a wonderful coach but just a great man all around. He taught me one of my most valuable life lessons - if you want it bad enough, work for it. He mad a decision to hold me back from joining the 12&U Fillies Travel team but he took the time to explain to me why and that is a conversation and a kindness I will not soon forget.

Rest Easy Mr. Munn. All of my love and respect.

Kathy,
We are still shocked at the passing of our dearest friend. SIC just won't be the same. We will miss our Friday & Sat morning visits down in SIC when Jim would come in from his long walks and have a cold bottle of water. He always made us laugh and we got a kick out of listening to the way he would talk to the kids about growing up to be kind and respectful young men. The boys were as shocked as we were when I told them the sad news. Please know that you will continue to be in our prayers, and we will always remember our good friend, Jim Munn.

Rest in peace Jim. Glad I got to know you over the years at the Club. Walking into the Club will not be the same when you are not there to talk basketball with me, of course after trying to remember if I was Kim or Stacy. Prayers and thoughts to the entire Munn family.
