CFL Commissioner Mark Cohon Statement on the Passing of Ron Lancaster
Published on September 18, 2008 under Canadian Football League (CFL) Source: News Release
"Our league has lost its 'little general'. And our country has lost a giant of a man," said CFL Commissioner Mark Cohon.
"Ron Lancaster is deeply loved across Canada, as a CFL player, coach, broadcaster and mentor, but most of all as a true friend. His career spanned eras, bridged west and east, and delighted our fans. But his life transcended sport, because the young man who came here from Pennsylvania grew into a true Canadian hero -- a role model who often towered above the rest, and yet remained resolutely down to earth, at the same time.
"Our hearts and thoughts are with his wife, Bev, three children Lana, Rob and Bob and his four grandchildren."
