The family of the late prep football coach Kenny Slack have announced the time and place for a memorial service in his honor.
The Memorial Service for Coach Slack, who passed away September seventh at the age of 67, will take place on Friday, September 30th, from 4-6 pm at the Cat Cavern inside the Putnam University Center on the campus of Coach Slack’s alma mater, Willamette University in Salem.
Coach Slack’s former team, the North Salem Vikings, play that same night at McNary High School in Keizer—with a kickoff set for 7:15 pm.
A short ceremony honoring Coach Slack’s memory was held prior to the Vikings last game on September 16th. North shutout Roseburg 26-0 that night, to run their record to 3-0.
Coach Slack coached in the Salem-Keizer School District for better than 40 years—most of that time was spent at North Salem High.
