BEVERLY HILLS, Mich. -

A funeral is planned in suburban Detroit for ex-Notre Dame running back and NFL player John Panelli, who died at 85.

AJ Desmond & Sons Funeral Directors says the Beverly Hills, Michigan, resident died March 2 in Royal Oak after a sudden illness.

Visitation is Friday at the funeral home, and the funeral Mass is Saturday at Our Lady Queen of Martyrs Church in Beverly Hills.

Panelli was born in Morristown, N.J., and played fullback and linebacker for Notre Dame's 1946 and 1947 national championship teams, averaging 7.5 yards a carry his senior year.

He was a 1949 first-round draft pick for Detroit, playing two seasons with the Lions and three with the Chicago Cardinals.

Survivors include wife Margaret; sisters Angelina Lombardo and Anna Brockman; children John, Andrew, Peter and Velma; and four grandchildren.
