Rest in peace, sir.
Dan was one of the most important figures in this team's history. He was the guy who hired Chuck and we all know what happened after that.
He was such a class act. He was such a selfless, wonderful person. Rest in peace Dan.
If you go to the Steelers' website, you can't even get any further than the message for Dan.
RIP.
Sad sad day
Rest in peace Mr. Rooney!

Sad to hear.
ESPN is often a joke anymore, but here's their blurb about it on their landing page.
Very nice, IMO.

Steelers chairman Dan Rooney dies
Rooney, who oversaw four Steelers championships as president of the team his family founded, has died at age 84.
Dan Rooney led an old guard of NFL owners who thought competitive and financial balance among teams was the most important factor in league success. As the Steelers' patriarch, he wasn't as concerned with squeezing every last dollar from the game and as he was focused on preserving its integrity and civic duty. His death on Wednesday moved the league one step further from that ideal.

Dan was most responsible for running the team during the dynasty in the 1970s. Real fans should read his book. He was the definition of Pittsburgh.

RIP kind Sir.
I've been a NFL fan for decades. Two owners I had respect for were Wellington Mara of the New York Giants...and Art Rooney of the Pittsburgh Steelers. A fine man, a great owner and an ambassador of the game.
R.I.P., Mr. Rooney, and my condolences to your family.
RIP Mr Rooney. Such a class act you will be truly missed.
A very sad day indeed. Rest in peace Mr. Rooney and condolences to the Rooney family. Pittsburgh has lost a very respected man and true humanitarian.
