Even though Mara was a good man, he didn't tolerate people who didn't play as hard as they could.

I think he is the last owner alive when the NFL early years..
My son and I went to the wake tonight for The Duke at Campbell's on 81 and Madison. To our utter amazement, there was NOBODY THERE. We walked in and paid our respects to him in the open casket. There were more cops and funeral home directors than morners--by far.
Go to www.mem.com and then to his guestbook to record any thoughts or memories for him.
RIP, Mr. Mara.
