Ron Snodgrass, Craig Kelly, Missy Facklam, and Becky Oakes - Episode 384 June 11, 2025 – A Life Well Officiated: Tribute to Emry Dilday

Episode #384: Tonight, we recognized one of the finest officials in the state, region, and nation. Emry Dilday had a profound impact on officials, coaches, athletic administrators, friends, and countless others throughout his career. He was an absolute presence in every sense of the word, and we celebrated both his life and his enduring legacy. Joining us from the officiating community were two officials who worked alongside Emry and have known him for decades: Ron Snodgrass and Craig Kelley. From the athletic administrative perspective, we welcomed Becky Oakes, former Executive Director of the Missouri State High School Activities Association and the National Federation of State High School Associations. And representing what was undoubtedly his most cherished role—that of father—we welcomed his wonderful daughter, Missy Facklam. Together, we honored a man whose influence extended far beyond the playing field and whose memory will continue to inspire all who knew him.
