Statement from Patriots Chairman and CEO Robert Kraft
"Our heartfelt condolences go out to the McCaskey family and the Chicago Bears on the passing of Virginia Halas McCaskey. As the daughter of NFL founder George Halas, Virginia had a front-row seat to the league's evolution and played an integral role in its growth. She embodied her father's unwavering passion and dedication to the game, serving the sport with grace, dignity, and enduring commitment. Her legacy will forever be a part of the NFL's history and the game she loved so deeply. I will miss my interactions with her. She was always class personified."
