R.I.P. Dan Rooney
Sad news, Dan Rooney passed away today at age 84. I am not sure how many non-football or non-Pittsburgh fans would know who he is, but he was a true gentleman and a very humble individual. (he also served as ambassador to Ireland for (3)years). I was fortunate enough to have had personal interaction with the Rooney family, and to have been a fan of their excellent organization since the 1970's. Regardless of how one feels about the team itself, the Rooney family has been well respected and have personified "class" in a league where flash, crassness and the pursuit of money have often been rewarded.
RIP sir. You will be missed
