He died of lung cancer. He died of being old. I am sure he was very depressed toward the end. I feel bad that his last few weeks on this earth had to be carrying around the problem about Jerry Sandusky. The sad thing is that problems and decisions hound us all of the way to the grave, and no matter how many right things we do, the wrong decisions are there to haunt us, no matter how great we become in the eyes of men.

He tried like most of us always to do the right thing, and like all of us sometimes failed. He was a great coach and educator and a moral man.
