A giant, not only in stature, but also deed, both on and off the court. Always made me smile. Taken too soon. May he rest in peace.

Mad Respect for this Gentleman. Truly helped mankind and was always compelling no matter when he spoke. Had a true glow about him.

Shalom

I’ve actually played pickup basketball with two of his nephews. Very nice young men.
