Not sure what to say?

Didn't know Don, but he was roommates with my brother in law, Tony Stricker, when they played for the Jets. Don was an honorary pall bearer at Tony's funeral in 1987. So sorry for your loss. My grandson, who is 11, but who keeps up with sports, just told us today.

To the family, many, many friends, and fans of this great person who played and loved the game of football. Mr. Don Maynard was a Hall of Fame receiver for the New York Jets who was a member of the Jets team that upset the Colts to win Super Bowl III. He had a wonderful career in football. May you find comfort in your wealth of fond memories together with Mr. Don Maynard. May the love and many, many special memories you shared with your devoted loved one show how much your life was touched by...

Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the loss of your loved one, may God give you strength and comfort during this difficult time. (Psalms 46 :1)

May my condolences bring your family consolation and peaceduring this painful time. 1 Thessalonians 4:14For if we have faith that Jesus died and rose again, so too God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in death through Jesus.

Don grew up with my Father in Colorado City TX. My Father ended up being a Texas Highschool Football Coach and Don would frequently come speak football banquets, or play golf in his custom "boot" golf spikes. One of the nicest individuals I've ever met and even when I was kid, or young adult, he would always find time to have a conversation with you, especially if you wanted to talk football. My condolences to the family.

Accept my sincere condolences.

Your legacy in football will live on.

You will be remembered for how you played with the team.

Very humble, he didn't even reveal he was a Hall of Famer until the end of our conversation. Ironically he initiated the conversation by asking what NFL team I played for.
