I had the honor of having lunch with him last year. He was a gracious man of great humor, and far more humble than his accomplishments call for.
He will be missed. May he rest in peace.
I was wondering if I could get one complete book with all this good info and pic's, if so what would that run me? you can reach me at [email protected] thanks I had fun looking
