Bobby Hebert Sr., the patriarch of a football family that included former New Orleans Saints quarterback Bobby Hebert Jr. and former LSU offensive lineman T-Bob Hebert, died Saturday after recently testing positive for coronavirus.

Hebert Sr. was 81 years old, and over the course of those 81 years rarely found a person he could not strike up a conversation with, said those who knew him.

Football analyst and south Louisiana native Mike Detillier had a relationship with Hebert Sr. that he guessed spanned at least three decades, but he couldn’t be sure. The amount of time one was around Hebert Sr. was sort of irrelevant anyway.

I fear we are all at risk of losing our elderly family members. Not a good time at all.

Makes me wonder, if China had gone into lockdown straight away if this could have been eradicated quickly. This morning the UK has just hit 1200 deaths.

Let's hope that he led a good life. He got to watch his son play pro football and that had to mean a lot to him. I'm praying that Bobby has the strength to get through this. RIP.

Hopefully this will be one of only a few casualties of this pandemic...
