The marquee outside the Sleep Inn at 157 S. Pleasant View Road in Post Falls, Idaho, reads:
POST FALLS
WILL MISS
JOE THE TOE
It is that city's way of remembering Joe Tofflemire, who became a football/kicking star at Post Falls High School and later the only three-time All-Pac-10 offensive lineman in Arizona Wildcats history.
Tofflemire died of heart failure last week in Post Falls. He was only 46.
When funeral services are held Monday, former UA linemen Dana Wells and Doug Penner are scheduled to be pallbearers. How much do they think of the Pac-10's 1988 offensive lineman of the year? They are flying from New York to Idaho for the service.
