As I was scrolling through Twitter yesterday, I came across a Tweet from AP reporter Will Graves covering the funeral of Pittsburgh Steelers owner Dan Rooney. The tagline of the Tweet read, “the proof of Dan Rooney’s legacy sat in the pews [at] St. Paul’s Tuesday. A cross section of a singular life well lived”.
It struck me because I felt that it so suited exactly the nature of the event, and since I feel there is nothing to improve upon in the sentiment, I believe it appropriate to allow it to serve as the lead into this article.
