Gathering
Paterno was dedicated to education as well as athletics; in addition to the statue outside Penn State's Beaver Stadium, where mourners gathered on Sunday, January 22, 2012 upon learning after his death, the university has a library named after its former coach as well. Paterno died at 85 after a battle with lung cancer.
