    I had the honor of knowing this amazing man & Ms.Alice for several years, I always enjoyed talking Alabama football with him according to him Bama was always # 1 he didn’t care what anybody else though and of course I was always right there with him on that. I will truly miss him and cherish the times we spent together. My deepest condolences to his family.
