Howard Tiefke (R.I.P)

[Best Buckeye]

Howard is a friend of mine and he passed away. Howard played center for Wes Fesler
in the forties. I have known Howard for 35-40 years and he was one of the best ever.
A pillar in the community in every aspect of life. He was a season ticket holder 65 years. Here is a link to his obit.

While Howard was before my time, I hope he had a very fulfilled and loved life. Sorry for your loss.

Never knew him as a player, but growing up in Maumee and being an avid bowler back in the day, I knew Howard as the owner of Timbers Lanes in Maumee.
He was always very highly thought of, and a very pleasant person, especially to the "regulars". RIP Howard.

Best, sorry to hear about your friend. I read the whole obit and that was quite a life. Of course my (5th or 6th) favorite part is him liking fishing and attending St Joseph's in Maumee. If I lived up there I'd turn myself into a fake Catholic in the spring, check out some Palm and Easter Sunday services and get the waders on and wander down to the towpath. (I might find religion for good parking to the walleye run).

I'm sure he will be missed and thanks for sharing this.

Heck of an obituary. Sounds like he was a great guy. RIP.

Thanks AKAK,
Couldn't help but notice that you must really suck at fishing if you need all that help from God. ... I on the other hand have fished the Walleye run since 1970 I believe. I know all the holes and when to fish, to the point where in my heyday could catch over 200 LEGAL fish during the run in the Maumee river. Now I only get to fish in a side cut channel and get maybe 2 fish a year. But I still love to get out.
Thanks to others in here too!

Well I can always use local knowledge. It's almost 5 hours round trip for me, so I only get to go a couple times, so it's hard to learn much more than going to Buttonwood or Orleans or Jerome. We learn new more thing every year but it's a shallow curve.
