Franco Harris passed away yesterday at age 72. He will be remembered by the Pittsburgh Nation for far more than his Immaculate Reception of fifty years ago, almost to the day. I watched him play at West Virginia University Stadium in his senior year as a Nittany Lion before joining the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 1972 draft, and loved to watch him on the field as he was a major factor in the dominance of the team in professional football in the 1970's with four Super Bowl victories. But the thing I choose to remember most about Franco Harris, above his magnanimous generosity, good humor, gentle nature, and humility, are the two lines he was famous for leading with. May his life always be an example for each of us. Thank you, Franco, for showing us the way. RIP #32.
