FORMER HEAD TRACK COACH, JOE LANE PASSED AWAY



We are so sad to write that Joe Lane passed away on Wednesday, June 28, 2017.  
Joe coached boys' track and field at Minnetonka from 1971-2000.   He was an
assistant with Bob Rogness from 1971-72, and became the boys' head coach in
1973.  His teams were legendary, finishing in the top 10 at State numerous
times, and winning the State title in 1976.   


Joe coached and taught at Minnetonka both in the middle schools and at the high
school levels. He touched countless lives in so many ways.  He had a passion for
kids and coaching that was apparent from the moment you met him!  His knowledge
was surpassed only by the kindness of his heart.  Joe also had a stubborn streak
that made you know he meant business!!!!  All of these attributes combined to
make Joe the wonderful person he was.  


On a personal note, I was blessed to meet Joe in 1985, my first year coaching at
Minnetonka.  He was a wonderful friend, a great mentor, and a caring human
being.  We were blessed with a great staff, and my days working with Joe and Bob
Rogness are some of my favorite memories.   As track and field athletes, we all
know that it is not only about all the meters we run, or the throws, or the
jumps that we do.  The relationships that we make are truly some of the greatest
memories that we will take with us.  As I contacted former athletes to let them
know of Joe's passing, one thing was clear-the huge impact that he had made on
their lives.  Many people commented "He always believed in me."  "He is the one
who pushed me".  "Joe helped me believe in myself".  "He had a huge impact on my
life".      THIS is Joe's legacy.  The world is better for having had him and we
are better people for having known him.   Thank you, Joe. 

Jane Reimer-Morgan
