Frank Wimer was a man of faith, a man of courage and a man of determination. He was a veteran of the armed services, an educator, a coach and a father not only to his own children. He was a father figure to every student and player he taught in a classroom or on the field. Anyone lucky enough to have known Frank Wimer might well have said he was the greatest citizen Elkins ever had.
It was on a grass field and/or a coal cinder track where thousands of kids learned to grow up and start to understand how hard work and determination could result in a successful life. It was only fitting for that piece of ground in South Elkins where so many learned to bear the name Wimer Stadium.
