    It's with a heavy heart that I share this news with you. Our friend @Coastal Steeler passed away a few weeks ago. I considered Dick a friend, and even still have a letter he mailed me several years ago.

    "Sarge" was a great guy. He served two tours in Vietnam and was always quick to share a piece of wisdom or a funny story. While enjoying the beginning of preseason, please join me in raising a cup to a huge Steelers fan who will be greatly missed.

    Wholly chit.... that’s horrible news.... Coastal will be missed dearly.... thanks so very much for his service.

    It’s really sad that he won’t be here to see the Stairway to 7.... SB series.... it’s the least we could do for him.

    Coastal was a staple on this message board for many years. He always had great insight on the Steelers he will be missed.
    Terrible towel twirl for you Coastal.
