San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh learned over the weekend that his grandfather, Joe Cipiti, had passed away at the age of 98. “It was sad, and I kind of felt that sadness all day,” Harbaugh said Monday, Jan. 13, one day after the 49ers’ 23-10 victory over the Carolina Panthers. “But I know he’s got a new audience now to tell his stories to. He is an amazing storyteller. He’s a poet of life and a man that was all about family.”
