6. sorry, but that link sucks

This one will at least tell you that he was 75 and says this: "he is widely considered one of the most brilliant and innovative football minds to ever coach."

I didn't even know he had leukemia.

9. An incredible mind, an example of doing your job with distinction

Thank you Mr. Walsh for giving me great games to watch all those rainy Sundays in the 1980's and a home team to be proud of. You got us a Superbowl the year it was held at Stanford (a home game Superbowl).
