“Condolences to the Family, especially my friend since early Teen-hood, Ellen, his beloved wife of 61 years, so sorry for your loss- Lou lived a long life, and he lived it well, a LOVE story that began at an outdoor pool in Germany in 1958, when we heard a voice saying......."Fraulein, sprechen Sie english" ? JOB WELL DONE Lou Paterno....... RIP”
