Wow, another man gone too young. It's amazing the impression they can have on us for the rest of our lives.
I remember what you are saying about players not getting paid much. Interesting story from my life - my dad and Lou Groza were actually partners for a while at an insurance agency in the Terminal Tower. Crazy that Lou was a hall of famer, but still had to have a desk job to earn enough income. My dad went to Michigan and Lou went to Ohio State, so they used to bet each other on the game every year and rib each other.
They eventually took their practices separate ways, but remained friends until Lou died.
