We were saddened this week to learn of the passing of former football player, coach, and athletics administrator Bobby Neil Setzer at the age of 86. A native of Haywood County, Setzer dedicated 36 years of his life to Catamount Athletics including 28-plus years on the football staff, six seasons as the head wrestling coach, and retired in 1992 after four years as the athletics director. He was enshrined in the WCU Athletics Hall of Fame the same year in which he retired.
Funeral services will be held at 11:00 am on Saturday, Jan. 26, at Cullowhee Baptist Church, with Dr. Jeffrey Vickery and the Rev. Tonya Vickery officiating. Burial will follow in the church cemetery. The family will receive friends from 6:00 pm until 8:00 pm on Friday, Jan. 25 at Wells Funeral Home in Waynesville. An online memorial register is available at “Obituaries” at www.WellsFuneralHome.com.
