One of the thoughts that are making its way around those who knew him is that he will be robbed of the funeral that he greatly deserves. That may not be the case and in fact, he may be getting the funeral he most definitely deserves instead.
Because of social distancing, there will be no huge funeral for Don Shula. No throngs of people lining up along the road to pay tribute to his procession. No throngs of people pouring into a church or at a gravesite. Instead, Don Shula will miss all that and he will be laid to rest with his greatest legacies around him.
