Not sure what to say?

Steve Delong was always on the football field for his fellow athletes. I was in Gibbs Hall 1962-1966, and followed Steves football experiences. Then, after I returned from the Marines in VietNam, I went back to UT in 1968 and said to who I thought was Steve was his son (if I recollect). What a great life Steve had. Lonnie Bryan, Gibbs Hall

I was in the hospital in the same room with Steve, I hope his family is doing well and I'm sorry for your loss. Sincerely ;Michael Haun.

I first met Steve during spring practice at UT in I believe 1962. Steve was a terrific player, and an outstanding man. I feel honored to have known him.

My condolences to the DeLong family. I visited Knoxville in 1994, for a Tennessee Branch Huguenot meeting. While there, I went to UT's Hall of Fame, but it was closed. Luckily, Steve's section was next to a window. So, I caught a 'glimpse'. A taxi driver I had there knew the DeLong name well, as did someone who moved from Knoxville to Chagrin Falls about a year ago. I know Daddy was proud of successful Oscar Smith "Tigers" he may have influenced as a South Norfolk 'coach'.

Steph and Keith: John I are were very sad to hear about your dad. He was truly a second father to both of us during our parents divorce. He came over to our house, mowed our lawn, took John fishing, took care of anything our mom needed and was always there to help. I will always remember him as big and strong with a wide smile and a "pretty good" golf swing. We all truly loved him!

Stephanie and Keith and family's: So saddened by your Dad's passing...seems like only yesterday that Rico and I were laughing and cutting up with him. He will be sadly missed, and I pray for YOUR family and God's GRACE to be with you all.Know that he and Rico are"having a blast" no doubt, and Bobby H. and ALL the "gang"....Deborah Gardner Reagan
