"Our family has been blessed to call Dan and the Rooney family our partners and dear friends for more than six decades, and we are deeply saddened by today's news. Our thoughts and prayers will remain with Patricia, Art, the Rooney family and the entire Steelers organization.
With humility, class and an unwavering devotion to the good of the game, Dan Rooney shaped the modern NFL. The sustained success of his teams made him a model to be emulated and admired by his peers, and his character and the strength of his convictions left a legacy that made our game better."
