One of the good guys. Put up a hell of a fight. Class Act.
We were not friends but acquainted through decades of living near each other and having the occasional beer. Great stories. True class.
He would treat all of my training friends as "Rasslers" because he met me with a few back in the day when TBS was strong in that game. Henceforth, every lifter friend I hung out with over the years became one of those "Rasslers" ( I never wrestled, he is aware of my mediocre sports career).
It was very good natured, and he would "tower" over us at 6'2 at best and bow up. He was my height at the time so he would lift his chin up to get over me.
I had season NBA tickets for many years in Atlanta, and would go see NBA games when I travelled and would occasionally see him at games in other cities or after at a nightspot. Never failed once to invite me to his table or corner of the establishment regardless of who he was with. Never met you with less than a smile.
Sports has lost a good guy.
