Dear Susan and Karras Family:
My condolences to you all on the loss of Alex. While I never had the honor and privilege of meeting him, It was on my bucket list. Alex was one of the few athletes who went on to a greater career after his playing days ended. He made another name for himself in broadcasting and acting and when you saw him on the screen, you always snapped to attention. He could deliver not only comedy, but some of the most poignant moments.
From his days as an Iowa Hawkeye to those with the Detroit Lions, He played the game with a ferocity that few have.
And he enjoyed a long and loving marriage to Susan. We should all be so fortunate.
He left us with so many memorable moments that we can all cherish and recall. We are so much better for his having been with us.
My his memories embrace you for the rest of your lives.
