Saddened to hear of the passing of Jim Rowinski. Row was one of the greatest success stories in Purdue history, going from walk-on to 1984 Big Ten Player of the Year before having an extended career overseas. Our condolences go out to Jim’s family and friends.
@BoilerBall Man, he got a lot out of his talent through sheer hard work! RIP, big man.
@BoilerBall The Prince of Pecs - big fella could dumbbell flat fly more weight than most could press! A no kidding very good dude. Thinking of his many friends and family members who are mourning - Grace & Peace.
@BoilerBall @PurdueOnBTN So sorry to hear the news. Prayers for his family and friends. 💛🖤
@BoilerBall I would say IMO the HARDEST worker Coach Keady ever had!
@BoilerBall @PurdueOnBTN Deepest condolences!! He was the epitome of what Purdue basketball was and is!!!
@BoilerBall Such sad news. A true Boilermaker! God speed Row!!
@BoilerBall Very sad. Wasn’t he the model for Purdue Pete?
