Dude had 3 daughters and was supposedly mentoring 1 to be his eventual successor. He planned for the team to stay in the family. Sounds like a recipe for a power vacuum. 
 

With that said, I was never really a fan of him, but I do hope he went peacefully and condolences to his family.

I'm was shocked to hear he was only 65, I'd have guessed he was at minimum 75, if not closer to 85.

Didn't he murder a woman?

He seemed like a somewhat cool dude, much cooler than Tepper or JR. He did bring Indy a team and a Super Bowl (largely due to timing of getting Manning, but still), but I didn’t think he was a great owner, has had the drug issues, etc. RIP. Wonder if his family will sell his sweet guitar collection

If anything, only getting 1 SB when you had Manning for that long should be a negative on his legacy, just like it was for the Saints to only get 1 with Brees and the Packers to only get 1 each with Favre and Rodgers.

I know it's hard to win a SB, but these are basically 4 of the 10 best QB's of all time and combined to win 4 SB's in a combined 60 seasons worth of being a starting QB for those franchises.

First owner to have the stones to say that Snyder needed to go, seemed to love his family and football team. Rest in peace.
