Hornung loved being a Packer and part of the Lombardi glory years.
He also loved having a good time.
Sad to see so many great Packers from the 60s dying in rapid succession.
Seems like yesterday that I was watching Paul and Jimmy following Jerry and Fuzzy around the end. Bart throwing to Max and Boyd. Willie and Dave collapsing O lines. Ray playing real smash mouth football. Herb and Willie blanketing recievers. The gap toothed Catholic ruling the sideline.
To those above and all I missed, thanks for a lifetime of memories.
They say in the end it is a blink of an eye.
RIP Golden Boy.

And fuck curfews!
Damn. Time's ticking away, time keeps ticking away.
I was in a good mood today.
RIP to a great Packer.
Finally got there, but took way too long for him to get to Canton.
Respect and prost, Golden Boy of Green Bay!
and THANKS!
So very sad to lose childhood heroes. RIP, Mr. Hornung.
Coach Lombardi is calling his team home. RIP, Golden Boy.
This year really fucking sucks.
lambeausouth: Hornung would approve of your avatar!
He will be remembered as one of the greatest football players ever.
Rest in Peace, Mr. Hornung, You will be missed.
Tomlinson played in 16 games...Golden Boy played 12. This record needs an asterisk.

The ironic thing to me is with his medical history Jerry Kramer was the most likely to pass away 1st. Everytime they operated they must have made him more bionic.
Thanks for the golden memories 5... Hella team up there.
I keep looking at that mini statue set and there's only 9 players plus Vince.
Fuzzy is missing and I can't remember who else...
