RIP, Bart Starr

A great Packer, but a better human being.

I only got to see him play at the very end of his career, after the glory days were done. He is one of the most important players in NFL history. But his legacy is more than his exploits on the gridiron. He also helped countless at-risk young men through his Rawhide Boys Ranch program, which continues to this day. He was a legend on the gridiron, but he left footprints well beyond that space. RIP.

And married to his high school sweetheart for over sixty years. That and a bunch more is worth a "Well done".
