The guy is just special. He's touched lives of everybody in the city of Pittsburgh in some way, somehow, some form.

I just fit the mold as far as a blue-collar guy. I may not be the flashiest, most flamboyant out there, but I get the job done for my team.

Hal touched so many lives,

It's so great just to get to the Super Bowl and so great for the city. Pittsburgh is just a great city for sports. Things on the hockey side have been tough lately, but we're rebuilding and we're cheering them on.

The letter was a very special letter, and it touched me, ... I said, 'How can I say no?'

It's hard to fathom how many lives he touched.
