We worked together 85-90. He worked with youth all the rest of his life. He and I used to argue about all kinds of subjects, a lot of which were racial. He used to call me a European American and it pissed me off. He did it on purpose.

He was from my home town of Bakersfield, CA.

my deepest condolences, it sounds like you lost a friend

I honestly did not recall the name, but I did a web search and found this nicely written article by Katherine Smith:

Yes as a young lad I remember him playing it is unfortunate that he was overshadowed by two great recievers Swann and Stallworth but he had the opportunity to at least share a few championships and get those nice rings!! long live #83

here is a link about his playing days. sorry about your lose.
