Art Rooney II On The Death Of Dwight White

(KDKA) Steelers President Art Rooney II released this statement on the death of former defensive end Dwight White:

"We have lost an important member of the Steelers family in Dwight White. His sudden death is a shock to us all. He was a dear friend."

"Dwight should be remembered by fans as a great football player, one who perhaps did not receive the accolades he deserved for helping make the Steelers truly a national team. He always seemed to rise to the occasion when it counted most, and added an element of toughness that was synonymous with our teams of the 1970s."

"We all knew him as "Mad Dog", but Dwight was a caring person who was very active in local charities. He also had a special gift that enabled him to liven up any room that he entered. Our prayers go out to Dwight's family at this extremely difficult time. They will remain a member of the Steelers family, just as Dwight will always be in our thoughts."
