The funeral arrangements for Joe Paterno have been announced, including viewings at the Pasquerilla Spiritual Center and a public service at the Bryce Jordan Center.
In a release made by his family to the Associated Press this morning, Joe Paterno's death was confirmed. He was 85.
Joe Paterno was someone we all had in common here at Penn State. Here's how I found out about the legendary coach.
He's gone now, but Joe Paterno's impact on this world may never fully be realized. One day, my kids will have Joe Paterno to thank for being a part of making them who they are -- because he will always be a part of me. People will debate his legacy for the rest of time, but I know the real heart of Joe Paterno.
Thank you Coach. I will forever be in your debt.
Late Wednesday night, Pete Thamel and Mark Viera of the New York Times published an article that addresses the Penn State Board of Trustee’s decision to fire legendary football coach Joe Paterno. The Times had spoken to thirteen of the thirty-two board members, who up until this point, have remained silent. For over three hours, they attempted to recall the tough decisions that led to the termination of Paterno and former Penn State president, Graham Spanier.
