The only centurion ever to receive two standing ovations in front of a sold-out Memorial Stadium football crowd and a packed Pinnacle Bank Arena basketball throng died quietly Sunday afternoon, June 7, 2015. Family members were with Ron Douglas, 100, in Crete, Neb., where the oldest living Husker student-athlete/football letterman spent all but three years of his life, including two years in California during WWII, after graduating from the University of Nebraska.
