He was the starting RG for Rip Engle during Joe Paterno's first year as an assistant. He is regularly the oldest letterman at functions. He played in the Blue-Gray All Star game as a senior. He began the Penn State tradition in my family, trickling down to myself, brother, and sister being 3rd-generation PSU graduates.
He was a season ticket holder and faithfully attended every game, refusing to ever leave before 00:00 showed on the clock, regardless of score or weather.
He taped and studied every game, as he breathed Penn State football. He was a member and frequent reader of this very forum
He is 91.5 years old and is nearing the end in the next hours or days. He had a relationship with Joe Paterno up to the end.
His name is on a brick in the BJC and team photo is hanging in the Letterman's Lounge at Beaver Stadium. He wore #63.
The man is the reason I love PSU and attended. He is the definition of the Penn State family. His legacy will always live on in my family, down through the 4th, 5th, and 6th generation alums.
Penn State football player, Navy sailor, and fraternity brother. A father, grandfather, and great-grandfather.
Penn State football family, we are about to lose a legend
