The joy former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jerome Bettis has been expressing during the Hall of Fame process has been infectious.
All week, Bettis has been smiling, laughing and overall just living in the moment as he prepares to be enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame Saturday night. However, despite all the happiness, Jerome will be carrying a heavy heart this weekend. This is because one person very important in his life will not be able to see him enter football immortality. That person is Jerome’s father, John Bettis, who died from heart complications in 2006.
