MILWAUKEE - Former Green Bay Packers
cornerback Bob Jeter, the father of Wisconsin-Milwaukee men's
basketball coach Rob Jeter, has died.
Wisconsin-Milwaukee athletics
spokesman Kevin O'Connor said Rob Jeter learned of the death
Thursday afternoon and went to join family members in Chicago, where
his father lived. He said Rob Jeter told him by phone Thursday
evening that his father was believed to have died of cardiac arrest.
O'Connor said Rob Jeter plans to
rejoin his team in time for Saturday's game with crosstown rival
Marquette.
Bob Jeter, who was 71, played on the
Green Bay teams that won the NFL championship in 1965 and the first
two Super Bowls. He played for the Packers from 1963-70 and was with
the Chicago Bears from 1971-73. He was inducted in 1985 into the
Packers Hall of Fame.
