He was an NFL as well as Philadelphia institution. I was listening to a sports talk show where they indicated Steve's father got the ideas for the style of their football films from the series "Victory at Sea" with the musical scores and depiction of the WWII naval action.
Pretty interesting. And yes, I am old enough to remember when John Facenda did the narration. Awesome.

Very sad. You won't catch me watching pro football, but I loved watching NFL Films. A good story is a good story.
