Family Asserts Lomardi's Grave Never Abandoned

Over the weekend I saw a small news report announcing that the family of legendary football coach Vince Lomardi claims his grave was never abandoned, as reported last week in national media (and noted on this blog). In a letter to the Green Bay Gazette, the family stated that the grave (located in New Jersey) was being tended by the Knights of Columbus.

While the Lomardi family has an iconic name, they too struggle with the issues of many families. The perpetual care for family members graves. Normally a task handled by the cemetery, but when family is spread across the globe it is difficult to know that it is really being tended.
