The Arizona Cardinals Football Club today announced the passing of Hall of Fame safety and long-time team executive Larry Wilson on Thursday evening. He was 82.
Said Nancy Wilson, Larry’s wife of 40 years, “Larry Wilson was the kindest, most humble person that I will ever know. To most, he was this ferocious and fierce football player who some described as pound for pound the toughest player of his generation. To me, he was the most generous and gentle soul you would ever meet. For Larry, it was always about everyone else and what he could do for them.
