One of the saddest days ever. He had a few years on me, but I truly hoped he would out-live me just so I would never have to deal with this day.
It troubles me to realize that there are entire generations out there who have no idea who Ali really was.
Boxing champ? Yes...but...
Anti-war activist?...Yes...but...
Parkinson sufferer?...Yes...but...
Muhammad Ali was certainly all of the above, but none of it begins to scratch the surface of what he represented to a child of the 60's and 70's The enormous impact he had on so many lives, including my own.
On this day the world has truly lost “The Greatest”. That’s neither nickname nor hyperbole. We have lost our finest citizen. We will never see his like again...
