PackerFanX Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 I met Reggie once at a steakhouse in Green Bay. He was very polite and took the time to sign autograhs for everyone who asked. My deepest sympathies to his family...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Score 1 Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 That's awful. You know White was fit and he didn't mess with any drugs, so a massive heart attack is really surprising. I feel for his family, especially at this time of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borge007 Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 Bad deal for his family. With a massive heart attack, at least he went quickly. Sure was a great football player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spain Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 Maybe the greatest DE ever. I followed his career closely because he was a Tennessee Volunteer. I was shocked to hear of his death today. He was only 41 years of age, the same age as me. He was the Minister of Defense and will be sorely missed.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keggerz Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 Golic summed it up best HE was the best DE in Football ever but EVEN A BETTER PERSON! Prayers and well wishes to his family and friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunther Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 Just stunning, just watched him last week on an NFL Films show where they spent some time with him. My heart goes out to his family and friends. A great guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My deepest sympathies to his family...... 631525[/snapback] I met him outside op Lambeau when I was trying to get his autograph for my son. He was always surrounded by dozens of kids and was always patient and kind to everyone. He told them all o behave and if they blocked them while he was walking to the locker room they wouldnb't get an autograph, but was gentile and honest.

Wolv Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 He definitely had a huge impact on all those around him, as evidenced from those who spoke for him on ESPN. Feared him as a Dallas fan.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doors27 Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 He was one of the greatest players ever- very much beloved here in the Philadelphia area- and of course, in Green Bay. I remember those days of Buddy Ryan's defense absolutely shutting everyone down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE SIX KINGS Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 Heck of a player.What I remember most is how he could just fling a OLineman out of the way with one freakin arm. He was so strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down Goes Frazia Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 You know White was fit and he didn't mess with any drugs, so a massive heart attack is really surprising. 631528[/snapback] .... ya never know. Reggie was a hugh man....... not uncommon for people of that size & stature to die that way.... and after leaving football alot of players gain alotta weight as they're not doing the same strenuous workout regiment that their bodies were used to during their playing career. Also could have been a hereditary defect...... blood clot..... a number of things can cause that without warning. Sad news at any rate for sure.

NSab Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 Reggie was one of the most loved and respected players here in Philly as well as Green Bay. I had met him personally a few times. He was a huge man and in great shape. He was actually a little younger than me. This is a great shock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His head was like the size of a basketball. He was a mountain. Very Sad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dooomsday Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 GB the White family! Sad day in Philly, GB, I am sure. Great man, great player. All time. Happens too often to young athletes. 43 is sooo young. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
