Joe Paterno: Living The Dream, Passing With Visions of Greatness

Press Release

Joe Paterno, 85, was pronounced dead earlier than his time. Mistakenly enough the false report was retracted by CBS. However, this did not quickly heal the damaged cause by his loved ones, scorned by the news release. I sincere apology was appropriate from the network, right before Paterno passed on legitimately that Sunday morning due to Lung Cancer. He left behind a loving family and the entire Penn State community to share stories of his legacy. However, what he accomplished while here on earth far extends beyond the rumors of his leaving the world too soon.

A vision for greatness is a symbolic representation appropriate to describe Joe Paterno. He was named Coach of the Year over five times. For sixty years he has inspired players and people of the Penn State community. Focused on driving others towards greatness, SportsIllustrated named him to be Sportsman of the year. Not only in coaching did Paterno let his light shine. It is important to remember that Paterno was a humanitarian for the country as well by serving in the U.S Army before going to Brown University.
