Another year has passed for Iron Mike. Another year has passed for my Dad. Dad pointed out the traits which Mike possessed and Mike's influence still carries with me, from those childhood days.
I still play minor league ball, and often draw off of Mike's traits, and my Dad's guidance, both in and out of football. Both of these men are motivators for my life. I wish I could have met Mike, but I feel as though I know him, and I hope he and my Dad are playing some ball in a wonderful place, waiting for me to join the game one day....

Mike Webster eptomized the excellence of the Steelers of the 70's. He was the best in blocking and snapping for the Steelers, but his contribution of discerning and alerting the offense of the defense's plans and schemes was invaluable to the offense, never mind that he helped Bradshaw call plays or changed plays based on what he saw the defense was going to do. I only wish his friend Terry Bradshaw could have played a role in rescuing him from his plight in the late 90's. Providencially he died at 12:52PM showing his bond with Terry (#12) and his number (#52). That's no accident and no doubt he's in Heaven resting in peace.

Although it's been a long time, Mike Webster will be forever remembered by Steelers Nation. He wasn't just a great athlete, but a great guy too. He was at a store in McKees Rocks (after he retired) that my daughter was in that sold sports memorabilia. She wanted to buy me a Clemente placque but didn't have enough money. He bought it for her to give to me. I still have it and will always treasure it.

What I remember about Iron Mike, is he had those huge arms and pushed away the defensive player/players with them while blocking for a running play or protecting the QB. He was the anchor on that superior O line. R.I.P. Iron Mike!

With Dermontti Dawson's mention of Iron Mike, he says Mike Webster has influenced his life because he led by example. I would agree.
Mr. Webster was one of many great reasons that I loved the Pittsburgh teams and still do. My own father used to express his pride in claiming how accomplished the Steeler's offensive line was, and that pushed me to play football as soon as I could hold a ball.
With Iron Mike's death anniversary approaching, I want to express to all those whom read this, to pray and keep Iron Mike in your thoughts. He did lead by example and would be a great hero in 2012, to show how selflessness, dedication, honor, and class should be the standard in sports.

To the Webster family:
Saw a special today on ESPN and it made me very sad with head injuries and what pain men of the greatest game endure. I'm glad that people are becoming aware of the head injuries that happen to many players. I can say I'm still very sorry for the loss..as a kid, I watched him play many times..awesome player..and so I just i needed to tell you he is missed.

To Mike Webster and to his family:
Thank you for being not only the anchor on the offensive line of the great Steeler Team of the '70's and '80's but also for being a wonderful husband, father and human being. Rest your soul Mike for you have earned it.

What I remember the most about watching Mike is that he was always the first player out of the offensive huddle. It is rare to see Centers displaying that type of tenacity.

Mike Webster is an inspiration to us all. As a former high school athelete on championship teams, I understand the difficulty post-sports life. Many of my buddies went through divorce, had problems, and some of us came together and formed an informal Men's Ministry support networi. We speak to eachother about how we need to provide support networks for ex-atheletes and current atheletes - this is especially true after all the accolades and such are done. In high school, our coach would encourage us to attend the Fellowship of Christian Atheletes (FCA) for a spritual breaksfast for atheletes of any faith. At the time, I didn't grasp the importance then but as I became older those FCA breakfasts are something that will always stay with me. To Mike Webster - rest in Peace and may the Good Lord teach us all to learn compassion even for the strong who need support.
Godspeed to the Webster family.

I grew up as a Steeler fan, watching Mike and the other guys do the impossible. He was the best lineman ever. But, more important then that, he was a great human , a true gentleman. We do not have players today that kids can look up to like this man. A shame. Thanks Mike !

It is always hard loosing someone with an illness or life threatning injury, watching their quality of life fail. It is real easy remembering this time of their life. When Mike played, I would find myself watching him the majority of the game. May God continue to bless the family members of Mike.

Growing up in the 70's, the Steelers were "The Team" and Iron Mike was "The Man". He was always my favorite, not only because of his great playing ability and desire to always achieve more but, the size of his arms was just amazing. Also, the fact that no matter what the weather was like, those shirt sleeves were rolled up and those tree trunks were visible. My son, who is now old enough to play J.V. football, as a tribute to Mike took the # 52. He plays center and is working to make his arms "look like Mike's."
My sympathy goes out to the Webster family.
Thank You, Mike Webster, for being the kind of man that kids can look up to.
Mike Kelley
July 12, 2004
I am originally from Grafton, WI and in my youth I always admired you for your ability to play the game hard and for your work ethic. You were truly a great ambassador for our state. As a Steeler you were number 52 but as a man you will forever be #1. Rest in Peace
Your Fan

I would like to express my deepest and most sincere sympathies to the Webster family. We all knew Mike for his outstanding impact he had on the Steelers and all of thier fans, however, I would like to share a side of Mike I found to be just as,if not more, important. I had worked at the S. Hills Area Y.M.C.A. day camp- Camp A.I.M. when I first met Mike. This is a day camp for special needs children. In an effort to provide the children with various programs we often turned to the local sports teams and requested a visit from one of the athletes. Mike was one of the FEW, in fact, one of the TWO, athletes we could count on to visit with the children. He graciously took his time in meeting with the kids, passing footballs, posing for pictures, pictures and more pictures and always returned the next year when contacted. This was during the 80's when I'm sure his schedule was quite busy and he could have very easily passed off this request to someone else...but he didn't. I hope the children look at thier pictures and realize what a special person Mike was. Thank you for the memories Mike, and God Bless you and your Family!

To Mike's Family. All that has been written and all that will be written about Mike Webster will never amount to how much joy he has given Pitsburgh Steeler Fans.Born and raised in the Pitsburgh area, we saw almost every one of the games Mike played in...Short sleeves in the winter,Bulging muscles,blocking for Bradshaw or whoever he had behind him. God Bless You Mike !

MOM,GRANDPA & GRANDMA HAVE TOLD US MANY TIMES ABOUT HOW GREAT THE STEELER TEAMS WERE WHEN YOU PLAYED FOR THEM.WE WISH WE HAD BEEN ABLE TO SEE YOU PLAY,BUT FROM THE STORIES WE'VE BEEN TOLD,YOU ARE TRULY ONE OF THE STEELER GREATS.MAY YOU REST IN PEACE.

Mike Webster was the best lineman to ever play the game. He was my favorite player. He made me a Steeler's fan. Offensive linemen have been my favorite players ever since. They do not get the recognition that other positions get, but football games are fought, won and lost in the trenches.
Mike, you set a standard for hard work and determination in football that many have attempted but very few have attained. Rest in peace.
Kathleen Miller
September 30, 2002
Mike Webster was a fine human being, as well as being a great football player. I am glad he had the love and companionship of his son Garrett in the last several years of his life. He is truly a hero who left us too soon.

I live in florida now...and I learned of Mike's death while watching terry on the nfl preview while I was at work.I couldn't hear the tv well,but when I saw terry's face, his expression.. I ran to the t.v and when I heard..a wave of shock and sadness went through me.
I've since read garrett's words on his father's death. What a brave young man. I'm sure your father's very proud of you. a steeler's fan since the 70's

I attended Mike's funeral on Friday as a friend and teammate at Wisconsin. I drove down with Billy Makris and Jeff Jorawski who both grew up with Mike and attended Rhinelander H.S.
There were many notables at the funeral, but the one thread that connected all of us was Webby and they know the same Webby we do.
My deepest sympathy to Pam and her family.I witnessed the poise and character of Mike and Pam's children
and I am comforted to know Mike's legacy, as a man, will continue.
I will miss you Mike.

I send my sympathies to the Webster Family. Mike Webster exemplified Pittsburgh: hard work, no nonsense, dedicated and loyal. This is what people will remember.
To the Webster children: I lost my dad at age 21. He should have lived longer. He was only 52. Don't be bitter about what was, but focus on the good. Don't remember your dad's problems, but focus on the love and respect he engendered.

Mike is my cousin. I knew him more as my cousin and not very much as a football hero. My memories are of him pushing me and my other cousins on a merry-go-round at my grandmother's house in Tomahawk,WI (Boy, did we fly!) Or when he ushered at my wedding with his brother,Reid. I'm not surprised by all the out-pouring of love, admiration, and sympathy for Mike. He had that effect on people. He came from a close family with loving brothers-Reid and Joe and sisters--Wendy and Jayne. They loved Mike and helped him as much as they could. We wish we could have had more time with him. Time to make new memories. It's nice to know that so many people loved him as much as we all did.

Life is tough, you must be tougher.
Do not expect to be given anything, work for everything.
Be consistant in giving 110% in every aspect of whatever your goal is every single day.
These are a few of the very special lessons that I learned while following your career Mike. I regret that I never got to thank you in person. Godspeed to you.

I met you on a Saturday in 1986 at Station Square. You were chasing your son around the elevator bank, up the steps and down the ramp, over and over...your arms were your most intimidating feature, your smile and handshake were your gentlest. Thank you for the memory.

My memories of Iron Mike are many. I have been in awe of him since his rookie year.
The photographer for my wedding also took photos at the game. Whenever we got our album back, there was a wonderful photo of #52 in the center.
When I learned of his induction into the Hall of Fame, I acted like only a true Steeler Fan (but I was in the heart of Bengal Country). My family proudly drove to Canton to see my favorite player inducted. It was one of the most wonderful days in my life.
Colin, Garrett, Hillary, and Brooke, Please don't ever forget how much your father loved you. You were certainly his pride and joy.
I know that we all have a very special guardian angel in heaven.

I grew up a Steelers fan in NJ before they won their first Superbowl. I took a lot of heat during that time in the NY metro area, but two players made me a loyal Steeler fan - Jack Lambert and Mike Webster. To me they anchored their respective sides of the ball. Mike Webster was the MAN in the middle and was the offensive coordinator on the field. God Bless one of the truly great players of the Steelers and of ALL centers.
