Discipline of Steel

"I just wanted to let Steeler Fans know that my husband Frankie (gladiator) passed away just moments after his beloved Steelers won the Super Bowl. Frankie loved the Steelers and was a loving husband and father. We are doing much better as a family and will miss his terrible towell dances in his undrewear and his parking lot football games at Heinz Field which he loved so much. He enjoyed being a fire fighter and spending his vacation in the hot months of July at Steelers Camp. He enjoyed posting on this site and it was a way he burned off his stress. Frankie suffered greatly from severe anxiety. Frankie would get so nervous before games that he would throw up. He died a very happy man. The Steelers were a bg part of Frankie's life. Take care everyone and god bless... Mary Ann Stenkiewitz"
I read some of the Gladiators posts through the year and thought he was a tad bit of a pessimist but he was a Steeler fan through and through. Sad to think he passed away moments after we won the Super Bowl but like his wife said, he died a very happy man. Thank goodness we won for his sake.
