PrintMy wife saw onFor The Glory of Old State that a candle light vigil will be held at 8:00 pm at The Statue. I can't be there for it, but I will be lighting a candle for Joe and his family in my home. I encourage everyone else to do the same.
I don't know where my life will take me, but I hope that I succeed in whatever I do. And I hope that I can meet that success with the same humility as Joe. He was larger than life in so many ways, but he was also so down to Earth. I played Frisbee and had cookouts at Sunset Park, only a few hundred yards from his modest home. That is probably what I will remember most about him: he could have lived isolated from us commoners, but he didn't, because he truly was a part of this family. He was a great man, but he was just like us. If he could do it, we all can.

I don't think I'll be able to bring myself to put it out,
but I’m damn sure gonna light it.
It is easy to go down into Hell; night and day, the gates of dark Death stand wide; but to climb back again, to retrace one's steps to the upper air - there's the rub, the task.

"Every player we have, someone-maybe a parent, a grandparent, someone-poured their soul into that young man. They are handing that young man off to us. They are giving us their treasure, and it's our job to make sure we give them back that young man intact and ready to face the world."

If we're saying where...
Pittsburgh, PA, and Fairfax, VA (on behalf of my dad, also an alum)

When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, 'I used everything you gave me'.
