Good Bye, Reggie
Reggie White was a leader.
Reggie was a leader with integrity. He spoke his mind and always acted in ways that were true to his values.
Reggie was a leader with courage. He understood what was right and good and never wavered from his convictions.
Reggie was a leader with vision. He saw the Packers as a franchise that could be great once again, and helped to bring others with him to Green Bay to make his vision a reality.
Reggie was a humble leader. He understood that his gifts were from God and that it was his obligation to make the most of them.
Reggie was a leader who understood what was really important. His faith was always first, followed closely by his family. His community was next. Football followed all of these.

Thanks for this post Jeff, I have been a Packer fan all of my life and always admired Reggie the most for the man of God he was. He truly practiced God's teaching of "Love your neighbor as yourself."

Reggie also was an Eagle, and remains a beloved figure in Philadelphia. One of God's best has returned to be with Him.

I'm a *huge* Eagles fan, in part because I grew up watching them and admiring Reggie. What class act...there are not many like him in the NFL anymore. God had his reasons for taking him early, may he rest in peace.
