This is horrible. I can't really say much having to deal with death the pas couple months. What I can say is that unless his mother specifically requested to talk to the media, she shouldn't have had to. That was heartbreaking, and hard to watch.

RIP #55.

Pretty sure there's another thread on this. Maybe they can be merged. I wasn't a big fan of Junior, but his career was certainly a HOF career. So sad.

Based on the reports, he was a class act. Did more for charity/kids in the few years since retirement than most people do in a lifetime. RIP, Junior. The demons are no more.

Indeed. A true class act.
