When he died suddenly, tragically, and much too young, there was no retired jersey celebration held in a sold-out stadium. There were no soaring tributes from dignitaries, no international outpouring of grief, no guaranteed enshrinement in Canton, Ohio.
For number 55 -- the former All-American from the University of Southern California and a Hall of Famer for the San Diego Chargers -- there were only unfulfilled promises. Much too soon, he was forgotten and gone from the collective consciousness.
His name was Frank Buncom.
That the original number 55 shared a lineage two generations after his death with the iconic Junior Seau is a little-known, forgotten footnote. Memories of the man are held only by his family, long-ago teammates, and those who profited from his guidance many years ago in another time.
In a journey lasting 44 years, the Buncom story and exceptionality is documented in Finding Frank: Full Circle in a Life Cut Short.
Today in an age where too many supposed heroes topple from too much excess, Buncom – remaining mostly anonymous and unsung -- stood apart by setting standards and setting goals.
His promises were cut short. But not stilled.
