Brian Piccolo, one of the greatest athletes in Wake Forest history died of cancer June 16 in New York's Memorial Hospital for Cancer and Allied Diseases. He was buried three days later in Saint Mary's Cemetery in Chicago after a requiem Mass at Christ the Ring Roman Catholic Church.
The 26-year-old football star is survived by hits wife, Joy, and three young daughters. He is also survived by lingering admiration for hits courageous spirit, which was evidenced even more in his final battle against death than in his life's many contests on the football field. The University athletic department plans to establish some sort of memorial, although the details hate not get been worked out.
Excerpts from a few of the many tributes to Piccolo are reprinted on this page.
