University of North Carolina Director of Athletics Dick Baddour on the death of Charlie Justice, October 17, 2003:
"Charlie Justice was one of the most beloved people in the history of this great University. He was a true Carolina icon. There was only one Charlie Justice, not only because of his football feats, but because of his humility, devotion to his family and teammates and his love for Carolina.
His passing is a great loss to so many people who loved and admired him. Our deepest sympathies go out to his lovely wife, Sarah, and all his friends and family.
It was a privilege to participate last year in dedicating the Kenan Stadium Hall of Honor in his name. People for decades have admired Charlie Justice and that admiration will continue for generations to follow.
This year's reunion of the Justice Era teams, which ironically takes place this weekend, will be even more special because of his passing. There will always be a place in Tar Heel hearts for the great Number 22."
