Aww *expletive deleted*it. We knew it was coming, but he was the champ.
A story...
I knew an HVAC guy working out of Kalamaoo that got a call to a Berrien Springs, MI residence. Some a.c. or freezer repair.
When he got to the estate, he was met by the lady of the house, shown the problem, and did the fix. Before he left, who came along to say "Thank You"?
Yessir, the champ.
He was old, greying, and was pretty punch drunk, but invited Ted him into his trophy room, signed a photo, pulled a couple of punches and was just a GREAT host.
So, I shook the hand that shook the hand...
