White. He was a great player--a magnificent player. Without him, my 
Packers would not have won Super Bowl XXXI. But, athletes come and go--
even great ones. My friend, Reggie White, will be long remembered 
because he was so much more. He may have left the playing fields, but 
he never left his fans, and he never stopped caring for the needs of 
his neighbors. Reggie and his wife Sara launched Urban Hope in Green 
Bay--a program that helped start some 400 small businesses and create 
1,100 jobs. Reggie believed in active faith--in putting his values and 
talents to work on the field and in the streets. We have lost a great 
player, but we have lost a greater man.
