It’s a sad time in the Arizona Football community, as we all learned yesterday that former Wildcat head coach Dick Tomey has been diagnosed with lung cancer. His family finally came public yesterday to deliver the sobering news.
“Coach Dick Tomey was recently diagnosed with a type of lung cancer at Tucson Medical Center and is currently undergoing further tests this week at MD Anderson Medical Center in Houston, Texas,” the family said in a statement. “We (Coach and his family) greatly appreciate all the people who have reached out to help in so many ways and all the expressions of love and well-wishes being sent our way from so many people.
