Ernie Holmes of Pittsburgh Steelers Dies


Ernie Holmes who was a star defensive lineman for the Pittsburgh Steelers has died at the age of 59. His nickname was 'Steel Curtain' and he died in a car crash.

"Holmes died late Thursday night on Highway 69 just outside of Lumberton in southeast Texas when his car left the roadway and rolled over several times.

Holmes, who was driving alone and was not wearing a seat belt, was ejected from the car, according to a Texas Department of Public Safety spokesperson. His death was first reported by television station KFDM 6 in Beaumont."


This really sucks!!! We're a Steelers household so this hits hard!!! I'm so sorry for his family and close friends so I send prayers along with happy thoughts to all of them.
