From Hall of Honor press release dated July 28, 2016:

There have been few Tiger fans who have contributed more to the success of Wittenberg’s athletics program than Ron Sortman. An employee with IBM in Dayton for more than 20 years, Sortman put his computer training to use on behalf of the Tiger football team, contributing to game preparation by analyzing plays, formations, and tendencies for the coaching staff. He attended 342 consecutive games over a span of more than 30 years, a streak that ended in 2011 when the team traveled to Alabama, and it is estimated that he cheered on the Tigers in person at more than 400 games in his life.

While his greatest passion was football, Sortman was a loyal and devoted fan of all Wittenberg teams, in particular the men’s and women’s basketball teams. He rarely missed a Tiger basketball game from his perch in the pressbox atop what is now Pam Evans Smith Arena, and he often assisted sports information staff members and student-workers with statistical compilation. A native of Dayton, Sortman was a founding member of the Athletics Hall of Honor selection committee in 1986, and he served on the committee until his passing in 2013.
