| I remember vaguely remember him. I was about 10 but a Packers and not a Rams fan. My dad loved the guy. Big and tough. 83 years old was a good run. I hope his final years were good. |

| I remember him. He was my childhood hero. Loved the Rams. Rosie Greer, Merlin and the crew. Fearsome foursome. My dad was a John Brodie fan ![Smile](http://sigforum.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif) It was a long time ago. God Speed Roman. Thanks for the heads up.

| At one time he lived on our street (I was a kid). Needless to say, QBs were not paid as well then as they are now. ![Wink](http://sigforum.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif) Great guy from I saw and still have an autographed pic (now in a frame and on my home office wall).

Partial dichotomy

| As a kid I was more a Vikings fan than a follower of the 49ers or Rams. I guess that even back then the hate for Cali was blooming. ![Big Grin](http://sigforum.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif) As a youngling I remember Roman Gabriel mostly as a "football star" and from TV commercials. And as a Ram. Don't rightly remember much at all from his later career with the Eagles. I sort of recall that he was on the cover of one of the Sports Illustrated mags that I had in my collection of various publications that I collected when I was growing up. Beyond that he was just another sports celebrity that I didn't pay a lot of attention to back then. Nevertheless, R.I.P. Mr. Gabriel.

| I remember him as the RAM QB, never knew him as "Filipino", never cared back then as a kid when life was simpler. |

| I enjoyed watching him play football, and I especially enjoyed him playing mostly Nati e American characters in cinema. Rest in peace, big man. |
