He was one hell of a great player and being married to a Yinzer, he still seems to somehow come up in family chat every holiday. Sadly, this year it will be for something different.

I grew up a Steeler fan and always loved Franco. I had the pleasure of meeting him in an elevator (just us two) in Las Vegas many years ago. I got on and there he was.
The dialogue as I remember it: Me: Are you who I think you are? Franco: Who do you think I am? Me: I think you are Franco Harris Franco: That's me. Me: You sure brought me a lot a pleasure as a kid. Franco: That's really great to hear. He shook my hand as he exited. He couldn't have been more pleasant. RIP
