After seeing him on television and reading about him in ring magazine I couldn't believe how gentlemanly and well spoken he was in person. We were in a jewelry store where I used to work that specialized in pearls and Kathy Duva was among the group he was with, He was friendly and when I talked boxing he had kind words for his fighters and their opponents. he was every bit a gentleman and from those I spoke that were in contact with him felt the same way too. He will be missed.
