Class person PERIOD:(

Based on the reports yesterday, this seemed like it was going to happen soon. Also many players said good bye to him while he was in the hospital. Ninety-nine years is a long time. He lived a good life and his influence on sports was unmatched.
Peace |
He is where he wanted to be...
with his wife in heaven. A great Boilermaker and a great Bruin.
|
Had the privelege of listening to him speak at a conference once upon a time. Amazing man. His Pyramid of Success still hangs in my classroom.
|
I really enjoyed watching the replays of games along with some interviews on ESPN Classic this weekend.
I still thought Larry Kenon and Memphis St. had a chance to win when I watched it! Kenon was one of my favorite players as a kid! |
There will never be another one like him. If you have not read his books, I recommend you would do so.
