The Family of Josh Linthicum '12
Saturday was a signature win for the Little Giants. We beat a good Wittenberg team to win the NCAC and earn a playoff berth. A beautiful fall day, it was perfect for sending the seniors off with a great celebration and hard-fought victory.
But we also paused to remember another senior – Josh Linthicum. Josh, from Springfield, Ohio, the home of Wittenberg, passed away during routine surgery before his sophomore year. It was totally unexpected.
Our guys have kept Josh forefront in their minds and Mike and Debbie Linthicum, together with their other son, were there Saturday. For Wabash…for Josh…for his teammates.
Big #70, I’m sure, was tracking the entire game from his skybox.
Including Josh’s family in the senior day activities was both proper and sensitive on the part of Wabash and, indeed, the right thing to do. This is another example of what makes Wabash unique.
