Sam Spence, the man who gave us so many of those awesome tunes featured in NFL Films highlights passed away Super Bowl Sunday in Lewisville, TX, according to his son. He was 88 years old.

You can find many of his best works on YouTube thanks to a collector named Dave Volsky. Here are a few:

R.I.P.. His songs are some of my favorite themes of all time and shaped my NFL childhood with great memories that have lasted forever.
