MIAMI—Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino’s father has died.

Dan Marino Sr. died Sunday in Weston, said Linda Elachko of the John N. Elachko Funeral Home in Pittsburgh. She didn’t immediately know the cause of his death. Marino Sr. was 71.

“My dad was the most loving father, grandfather and husband,” Dan Marino said. “He was also a friend to everyone and best coach anyone could ever have.”

Miami Dolphins owner Wayne Huizenga said the team was saddened to learn of the death of the ex-quarterback’s father.

“A visible member of the Dolphins family, he was one of the team’s biggest fans ever since we drafted Dan in 1983,” Huizenga said.

Services will be today in Davie, followed by a funeral service Friday in Pittsburgh.

Other survivors include daughters Cindi Richert and Debbie Berger and 11 grandchildren.
