Alex Karras

Here it is December 31st, 2024, & I'm in the middle of reading Alex's book "Even Big Guys Cry" & he's virtually come back to life in my mind. Such a GREAT read, & I love how he gets so detailed with his childhood, Gary Indiana, & his life & his thoughts about so many things. Being a metro Detroiter, Alex was larger than life & SO loved by all Lions fans, plus his career was right in the sweet spot of my childhood & the years I really followed pro football. I loved him in anything he acted...

You and Susan were great fun on the Cabo cruise. Katie had the broken leg and got along better than us during rough water. Don and I enjoyed a party at your home another time and your visit to Kentucky for the races. Such a kind, fun and generous family.

Rip alex u sure b proud of ur son hes a fine young man

I and thousands of my peers growing up in Detroit in the 60's idlolized Alex Karras. My fondest memories are; my high School football coach handing me a pair of his hand me down spikes. I couldn't find a pair to fit my big feet, let alone afford them. The next was sitting in the cheap seats at Olympia Stadium watching the Big Event. Rest In Peace.

Memory eternal!

Mrs. Karras, My heart goes out to you at the loss of your husband. I recently lost my husband of 47 years and I know your pain. Keeping you and your family in my prayers.
