[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 1076738, member: 17953"] Nice guy. Quiet, unassuming, just played football at a high level, never seeking the limelight. Very much underrated. He was a team captain during the 60s and a steadying influence on the team. He played left tackle with the best of them and his blocking on the famed Packer sweep was what gave our guards a chance to pull out and lead our runners to the outside. A lot of people believe he should be in the HOF. I'm one of them. He owned and ran a school supply company after he retired and was well respected in the community and business world. Another guy who went into the sales field was Ron Kostelnik. He worked for a supply company during the off season. He rose to the top ending up their President if I recall correctly. During the 60s, I often went out to lunch with him in Milwaukee. It was a ritual at least once a month since he and I had a favorite place on the Southside not too far from Allen-Bradley's facility with the large clock tower where they had these huge thinly sliced ham sandwiches. If I remember correctly, it was a German restaurant. For the life of me I can't remember the name of the place, but it was great. Ron was another underrated player due to the Packers having so many stars at the time. He was a run stopper as a defensive tackle and was one person Lombardi and Bengtson knew could be counted on when they went to the 3-4 defense. Both of these players were highly respected by Lombardi both on and off the field. Two of his favorite people on the team. They were two gentlemen who played the game and honored it. [/QUOTE]
