Dear Dad,
Growing up we thought all Dads worked “inside the television.” This last year, we realized the full impact you’ve had on the world, and how important you were to so many. A whirlwind year of appearances and accepting awards on your behalf, Lifetime Achievement Awards, Hall of Fame Inductions, your book launch and even a visit to the White House — has given us great insight into the mark you left during your lifetime. We are truly grateful for the opportunity to meet many people whom you profoundly impacted, share our grief and our memories while giving back on your behalf and continuing the legacy you started in raising cancer awareness.
You lived your life with a fierce sense of authenticity, passion and competitiveness, giving it your all and reaching for the best in everything you did. When you were diagnosed with cancer, you showed the world how to fight with that same fierce passion, instilling a sense of hope and inspiration to so many. And in the end you taught us all how to win – live or die – by how you live, why you live and the manner in which you live.
From you Dad, we’ve learned to reach for the fight we possess inside and apply it with passion to our lives. It was through your vulnerability, that you taught us the real value of strength in never giving up.
Love, Tae & Syd (Your heartbeats)

I just listened to the entirety of this podcast last night... Then my phone died and then listened to the rest before I went to bed. He was a cool cat. You really seem like a cool cat. Very few people can truly transcend and touch so many people positively. He was definitely one of them.
I'll never forget when Rich Eisen found out on the air at NFL Network. He delivered the highlights that night using all of Stuart Scott's catch phrases. They worked together so close to you for long. You know it hurt him, but we all feel like we lost a family member... at least I did
Man, I'm over here with tears streaming watching that again.
understood
Rest In Peace

Damn. That's hard to watch. Never seen that before. Brave man.
