Also I didn't say anything about getting a certified copy. Just give the vital records dept a call and see if someone will look it up for you. No need for a certified copy

Did not want to offend you.... but wanted to educate you about something you do not know about...

I may have a little more experience with this issue as I am a licensed funeral director in the state of Tennessee (38 yrs) and You, or no one else, without a legal right will be given the cause of death on a death certificate without some legal authority to do so.

As to the issue of the grave marker Gen Robert Neyland has a government marker, and families are limited to what may be placed on them, and the cause of death does not meet this criteria

i think you should keep up with the times a little better before you "educate" people.

For a small fee all this information is obtainable on the internet.

Milestones: Apr. 6, 1962 - TIME

Died. Brigadier General Robert Reese Neyland, U.S.A. (ret.), 70, aloof, single-wing wizard whom Knute Rockne called "football's greatest coach," a Texas-born, West Point-educated authoritarian who in a quarter century of time borrowed from his official career as an Army engineer built the University of Tennessee's Volunteers into the nation's "winningest" football team, ran up a record of 171 wins v. only 27 defeats by stressing solid precision tactics—he would rehearse a play 500 times before using it in a game—and for all his hard-bitten exterior raised a whole generation of U.S. football coaches ranging from Yale's late Herman Hickman to Georgia Tech's Bobby Dodd; of a liver and kidney ailment; in New Orleans.

Gen. Robert Reese Neyland (b. Feb. 17, 1892) died this day, a Wednesday, in 1962 at the Oeschner Clinic in New Orleans.
Services A - Z | Ochsner Health System | New Orleans, LA lists the present day services at the Oschner Clinic. The first one listed is cancer.
Since Neyland was athletic director at UT until his death, he must have had a very serious illness such as cancer, otherwise why would he have gone to New Orleans instead of staying in Knoxville for treatment?

He loved to see "five o'clock arrive' each day and his elbow was bent toward his face for lots of time after he left coaching...Heard it was a problem....And how many more coaches have had that same problem....

From whom? What's your source? Whom do you know that knew Neyland? The guy's been dead for 50 years; what kind of a source can you possibly have? And if you don't have one, what's the point of saying something like this?

God needed a General, he also needed a coach for the team up there. The devil has the bear and they play every year when the leaves start changing colors.

If I was the Devil and I needed to beat Bob Neyland, I wouldn't hire Bear Bryant to coach my team.

Actually, I heard Bear got sent to Purgatory after he died, and his penance is to have to coach against Bob Neyland every day until he's suffered enough for the sins he committed in life. :thumbsup:
