The house where Dan Rooney grew up and lived to his final days is just two stories high with a small porch, located on a modest block on Pittsburgh's north side not far from a fast food restaurant and some empty lots. You can almost see it from Heinz Field, and for years, Rooney would walk the cracked sidewalks down the hill to get to Steelers home games, one of the most influential people in NFL history remaining firmly a part of the city where he resided -- save for one very celebrated interruption -- all his life.
On Thursday, Rooney, the revered chairman of the Steelers, the deeply respected patriarch of the NFL and, not incidentally, the former United States Ambassador to Ireland, died at age 84, the team announced.
