Like him or hate him, he did a lot for the NFL in his 48 years of owning the Raiders

Guess somebody at SFGate forgot to fill in the headline on this pre-written obit:

Guess they must have fixed it since this afternoon. What, did they forget to put his age in?

I'm curious however, how many of the three writers included in the byline still work for the Chron?

probably moved over w/o a headline. Oh well, it happens.  I'm pretty sure Dwight Chapin no longer works at the Chron, the other two I know do.
