Rest in Peace John.
Condolences Diane and families.

Thank you Brock for being my football hero. I was lucky to have spoken with you several times. You gave a young boy from Green Bay many life long memories. Rest in peace, #42 forever!

You will be remembered in the NFL.

Was one of the best players for the Packers.
