    So sad. Growing up he was such a huge part of my childhood. And this week makes it even sadder. The Italian Army grieves.

    Felt like a punch in the gut when I turned my car on and it was the first thing I heard on the radio. So sad.

    well this is just Horrible news ......

    Like many he was an institution in my Steelers Legacy and Lore and an impactful member of the City of Pittsburgh my entire life ( well since age 7 or 8 on anyways )

    RIP #32 you will live on in our hearts ...

    RIP Franco.

    I feel sick. Just saw him on TV speaking within the last few days. Looked great.

    What a damn shame.

    Probably his best game that I can recall. I know he got MVP in IX but he was unstoppable here.

    His TD run at :58 was a thing of beauty.

    My son just texted me from his bus on the way to school.

    It's weird because his "A FOOTBALL LIFE" is about to be released this Friday plus they are retiring his number on Saturday. Now it's almost like a tribute.

    RIP, Franco you will always be the #1 RB in Steelers history. I'm wondering what happened, heart attack?

    Absolutely no words. Not only a great Steeler but a great Penn Stater. Saturday takes on a whole new meaning.

    Some people (on Twitter) mentioned that they noticed him in recent interviews struggling with words and thoughts so it could have been dementia/Concussion stuff catching up to him but again this is only people speculating on Twitter so take it for what it is.

    sadly at age 72 death is always knocking at the door, some just answer the door sooner than others .. sucks for sure ....every day we wake up is a blessing the older I get the more appreciative I am of that (60 is creeping in, in just a few months ) sure I dont look it (my avatar pic is from this past summer) but internally age is age and nobody escapes it
