Honoring Husker Football Lettermen Kirby, Mueller

By Randy York, The N-Sider

Big Red football fans appreciate what Huskers take with them when they're gone and what they leave behind.

Let the record show that two Husker football letterwinners from the 1960s left plenty before their passing this past week.

David City, Neb., native John Kirby was a Nebraska letterman at guard and linebacker in 1961, '62 and '63.

Columbus, Neb., native Marvin Mueller was a Husker letterman at safety in 1965, '66 and '67.

Kirby died on his 70th birthday and his celebration of life service was last Saturday in his hometown of David City.
