A span of 20 years had passed without us having a conversation but when I heard of your passing it was as if I had just spoken to you. The pain and hurt was felt immediately. I didn't want to believe it was true. You were one the toughest competitors I have ever had the pleasure of competing against and one of the funniest dudes that ever walked the planet. Who wouldn't laugh after hearing you call someone the ugliest dude in America? Life can be so unfair sometimes.
