(WSCR) It’s been exactly one year since Joe Paterno died of lung cancer.
Paterno won 409 football games as the head coach of the Penn State football team, but he will forever be remembered for covering for a child rapist.
“I wish I had done more,” Paterno said before he died.
Still, some choose to honor the fallen coach via Twitter.
Check out the tweets below.
Rest In Peace Joe Paterno…Still one of my role models, no matter what people may assume..—
