Pittsburgh Steelers stone stolen from fan's grave

The Associated Press | Sunday, March 19, 2006 5:00 a.m.

WELLINGTON, Ohio (AP) - Jason Raab was such a Pittsburgh Steelers fan that when the 24-year-old Wellington man died nine years ago, his family had the Steelers logo engraved on his headstone. They also have been placing a Steelers' stepping stone at the grave each year. But following the Steelers' victory in the Super Bowl, the stepping stone was stolen from Greenwood Cemetery. Raab's twin brother, John Raab, wrote a letter to the local weekly newspaper about the theft. Family members say they just want the stone returned. Raab's mother, Cheryl Raab, said she visits the cemetery nearly every day. Wellington is about 40 miles southwest of Cleveland.
