Inside the Lambeau Field atrium Monday afternoon, the Green Bay Packers held a celebration of life for the late Packers president Bob Harlan. Talking to anyone inside or outside the organization, Harlan had a way to make everyon e feel special.Not only is this the most historic franchise in pro football, said Harlans son Kevin Harlan, the legendary sportscaster, but its become now the most innovative. And for Little Green Bay, Wisconsin think of that. Isnt this remarkable? Its the best story in sports.Kevin Harlan was joined in remembering his father by a few big names in franchise history, including current Packers President Ed Policy.This roof in the atrium below it would not exist if not for Bobs vision and his tenacity, Policy said.Policy had known Harlan from a young age, when his dad, Carmen Policy, was running the 49ers.By far the most important meeting I ever had with him was when I got this job, Policy said. I called Bob and asked to meet with me for just half an hour. I was trying to be very respectful of his time. Bob came over and met with me at Lambeau Fields atrium for about three and a half hours, and was incredibly gracious with his time and his wisdom. Thats a conversation Ill never forget.After the event, NBC 26 caught up with former Packers President Mark Murphy, who said it was hard following a legend.Every time issues would come up and for three, four, five years Id call Bob and say, What do you think about this issue? And he was just so gracious with his time, Murphy said.Making an appearance was former Green Bay and current Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy, who couldnt help but get choked up when he took the stage.My memory will always be him with a cup of coffee, McCarthy said. Showing up in the office, Are you getting everything you need? And hows Jessica? How are the boys doing? The boys were really young then.But another Packers legend got choked up as well: former GM Ron Wolf. Together, the pair turned the Packers from a struggling franchise back into a winning one.Green Bay was deader than a dead mule when I got here, Wolf said. For Bob Harlan to take a chance on me and give me this opportunity again, as I said, its a once-in-a-lifetime place and it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.At a game to be determined later this season, the Packers will add Harlans name to the Wall of Legends. ...read more read less
