TJ Bard's Statement Addressing the AssemblyJoe Paterno's Passing
"This has been another sad week for the Penn State community, and only added to a year that easily has been the most difficult in our history. I want to take some time to thank and honor Coach Joe Paterno. Few individuals have the ability to mold the lives of thousands, inspire generations, and change an entire university like Coach Paterno. Joe’s life, dedication, legacy, and words will live on forever. He and his family have truly changed what means to be a Penn Stater. The Paterno family’s generosity to this university created so many opportunities for students who otherwise would not have had them. Joe Paterno was and will always be far more than a football coach to Penn State. I want to thank Coach Paterno for everything he has taught me and for everything he has done for this community. It is obvious to see the impact Joe and his family has had for this community, from the thousands who stood by candlelight to honor him, to an almost instant sellout for the memorial service, and to the thousands who helped to guide Joe home this afternoon. I can honestly say that I do not think that there is any student body in the world, or any group of almost 100,000 people more united than the Penn State community this past year. We all are so thankful to Sue and the entire Paterno family for sharing their husband, dad, and grandpa with thousands and thousands of us over the years.
Joe’s words, lessons, and values will eternally live within the heartbeat of Penn State."
