Classy, American ... he's the guy most people should try to be at least professionally. When you watched him and heard him speak (while doing his job) you never thought black, you thought fellow citizen. Which means he did it right.

All the more reason ... (no wonder he did Hockey) ... but my point still stands though I do realize in the back of my brain I had that, but forgot.

Truly sad news. Incredible voice and even more incredible professional.

All the secrecy makes it sound like suicide.

Interesting theory about suicide

See Post #37 and open up link, it says congestive heart failure. Almost undoubtedly brought on by diabetes.

Either way, you or I will end up dead from heart problems. There's really no such thing as heart disease as 99% is totally preventable. Congestive heart failure is also manageable with proper diet. We are all killing ourselves with the foods we're eating. Sad.

**jjgold** · 08-10-16, 05:50 PM

terrible

still shook up

**pavyracer** · 08-10-16, 06:00 PM

I had a friend who had diabetes and died from a heart attack. It's the leading cause of death for diabetics.

He wasn't an over the top SJW.
He would make his point and move on, I had no problem with it.

Don't know if anyone posted this or not???

In 2014 and in 2015 I noticed a huge change in his voice. Anyone notice this?

Didn't know if he was a smoker? Or throat cancer? Never noticed a guy's voice change like this before.
