Not sure what to say?

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

I met Mr. Unitas at a celebrity Night at Bromwell's bar in Fullerton md in 1984 or 1985, He walked pasted and I yelled The Greatest Quarter Back in the world and he walked over and shook my hand and asked my name , He was so nice that he talked with me for a good while, and I got him to sign my shirt and he did and then he drew a funny picture on my shirt and told me he dont do much of those for any body, But I Loved talking and Laughing and the drawing on my shirt with his signature .Great...

I grew up loving the Baltimore colts and idolizing the greatest quarter back of all time...Johnny was always such a gentleman when I had the several chances to meet him. It is hard to believe you have been gone 21 years....RIP and God bless..

As 20 years since this loss is now approaching, let's never forget. We are unlikely to ever see another true giant like the one and only golden arm with his genuine humility. One of a kind.

"Talk is cheap! Let's go play." RIP Johnny U!

Johnny was my hero when I was a boy in the 50's and his example of hard nose work ethic has followed me all my life. All I have to do is close my eye and picture a crew cut and high tops and I am back in the old living room watching the Colts on a snowy black and white set! Thanks for giving me a role model all those years ago Johnny U!!!

No matter how today's stats may indicate that your record has been broken, you were, and will always be, the Greatest Quarterback of all time. I still, and will always, cherish the autographed picture that you gave me in 1992. RIP Johnny U.

Johnny you were the best!! My Dad and brother loved you so much. R.I.P.

The best quarterback ever play the game.when the rules of protection was totally different then now.
