He left an admirable body of work. He was a talented human being. He was special.

I didn't know he worked for ESPN...

ESPN has been posting about his death on TV.

We certainly lost a beloved champion here in Puerto Rico. A great champ, and a classy individual who was loved by all who knew him. He will most definitely be missed. Reps to all who've posted.
