“Bob Timmons epitomizes everything a coach should be,” said former player and long-time assistant Diane Meyer ’85. “He’s honest, has a high level of integrity, he’s a teacher, a fighter for his student-athletes, and just a really great guy who truly bled crimson for 17 years.”
A graduate of the University of Northern Iowa, Bob got his start in softball as a player in the Cedar Rapids Major Open fast pitch league playing for Welty Way and Modern Piping.
