Sadly, I note Connie's obituary in this morning's Star online. He was 78 and apparently died of cancer.
Hitch was one of my early heroes when he was an All-America end for Devine's great teams at the beginning of the 60s.
He came to MU after serving in the Marines and was as tough as they come on the field, but one one the nicest guys you'd meet.
