George Pernicano, one of the five original San Diego Chargers minority owners who purchased interest in the team in 1963, has died, the team said. The Chargers said in a release that Pernicano was surrounded by family at his home in El Cajon, California, when he passed away early Thursday. Pernicano helped Jack Murphy and other prominent San Diego residents persuade Los Angeles Chargers owner Barron Hilton to move the team to San Diego in 1961.
