Found dead in his home. Autopsy to follow. Foul play not expected

My dad was his back up at ETSU. So sad to hear!

Yes. Probably complications with diabetes. Hopefully not CTE-related.

I remember people gave him the nickname "Whiskey Wade" because of Tommy Kramer's drunkenness. I don't even know if he drank- he certainly didn't as much as Tommy. I never forgave Denny Green for the way that he cut him from the team- never told him in person.

Ironic that he died on his birthday. 60 is too young.
