**Steelers Chairman Dan Rooney on Passing of Bill Nunn
**
We have lost a great friend and a great person who did so much for the Steelers organization with the passing of Bill Nunn. Bill was a special person who did everything in his career, from playing sports to being an excellent journalist all of which led to his outstanding career in scouting for the Steelers.
Bill had extraordinary instinct in identifying talent throughout his career, including the legendary 1974 NFL Draft for us. He put us ahead of so many other teams in the NFL by leading the efforts of drafting African-American football players at traditional black colleges. Very few people had a bigger impact in the history of our franchise, and his positive attitude and contributions will truly be missed.
Bill meant so much to this organization and we will all miss him terribly. My thoughts and prayers are with Frances, Bill III and Lynell, along with the entire Nunn Family.

It is hard to put into a few words what Bill's many contributions to our organization have meant over his 46 years with us. On a personal level, Bill was a friend, mentor and trusted confidant.
The entire Steelers organization mourns the loss of Bill, and our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Nunn family.

His insight and guidance were always cherished.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Frances, and his children, Bill III and Lynell.
