    Such a shame. I have seen this disease close up. It is devastating.

    Tunch was a staple in the Steeler community as well as a great man who deserves to be remembered as such. Thoughts and prayers to the Ilkin family.

    So… when do we get to throw cupcakes at him?

    Joking aside, there’s some really good stories being posted on Twitter. People who Tunch “touched” and made a difference in their lives. Small moments, small stories, but big effects. Coincidently, some dust keeps getting in my eyes.

    Felt like a punch in my gut when I read the thread title. I'm so happy that he was a strong follower of Christ and has finished his race and received his crown. Prayers for the family.

    "Call up your travel agent. Remake those reservations. We're going to Denver."

    My fondest memory of Tunch in the broadcast booth when the Steelers won in Indy during the 2005 run. Had an easy going style about him. His reached the end and he will reap his great reward.

    His name is embedded in Steeler history as much as Bradshaw, or Harris. I deeply saddened.
