Cowboys’ Landry Buried in Dallas
F-16s flew over and Pro Football Hall of Famers sat in mourning Wednesday as former Dallas Cowboy coach Tom Landry was buried in a private ceremony.
At the request of the Landry family, the time of the funeral wasn’t made public. Landry died Saturday at 75 after suffering from leukemia for nine months.
The guest list of about 400 friends and family members included former Cowboys Tony Dorsett, Roger Staubach, Harvey Martin and Dan Reeves. Frank Gifford, a teammate of Landry on the New York Giants, also attended.
Cowboy chaplain John Weber gave about a 20-minute eulogy at Sparkman Hillcrest Funeral Home. Afterward, mourners walked to the grave site at nearby Hillcrest Memorial Park.
