He passed away tragically in 2001 due to complications from hip replacement surgery. We have been fortunate enough to have received on consignment a grouping of documents photos awards manuscripts and scrapbooks that originated with Schaap’s estate. Incredible editor's manuscript of the 1969 book Jerry Kramer's Farewell To Football written by Kramer and edited by Dick Schaap. The typewritten bound book contains an original manuscript with corrections edits and entire crossed-out sections. We can only imagine that the pages herein contain bits that were not published in the final edited document. A significant piece the original manuscript of Jerry Kramer's second book nearly 50 years old.
