I think a tribute to him is that I have never read anything but nice things about him. It seems anybody he worked with considered him a friend.
May he rest in peace.

RIP.

When I was a kid, my best friend and I would play Starsky and Hutch, (and Dukes of Hazard)

We had neighboring farms and his dad had an old car that we used to drive in the fields. I was always Hutch because I was taller

That was the height of the 'television characters and their cars' era. Buddy of mine absolutely had to have a Gran Torino as his first car because of that show.

Are you kidding? You couldn't even look at it wrong without him getting anxious.
