Is this any different than a normal 3 days?

Yes, it's usually 3 days of celebration, not grieving

The Pittsburgh Penguins will honor Dan Rooney by wearing special helmet decals tonight.
Win the Cup for Mr. Rooney!
It's still Black and Gold baby!.
Another reason why Pittsburgh is so unique...the only city in America whos professional sports teams all wear the same colors.
Talk about civic pride!

wasn't listed. But he had missed some things late March. And he was known not to miss meetings etc.
Obviously his health was deteriorating, just to what was the final straw is a unknown for now...
Moved to Dallas at the beginning of the year. Ordering a Steelers hard hat. I wonder how well that will go over.

Welcome sir!
Article today in the Trib cites natural causes. RIP.
Watched the coverage if the service, great stories about Mr. Rooney from all walks of life, great to see Ike as a Paul Bearer with Mr. Rooney's grand son's. I couldn't take myself away from the tv. They said Art and his mom Pat stayed for 5 hours thanking everyone at the public farewell at Heinz Field.
