He was in hospice.
“I remember him doing a celebrity boxing match with Ron Palillo (Horshack from Welcome Back, Kotter). RIP.”
Both are now gone.
He had a sorry personality, was a druggie, stabbed a guy and by all appearances was just a disgusting guy.
He was not always that way. He lived in this area. He had moments of being just an ordinary guy. But, he just could not get out of his own way.
It was PC before PC was really a thing. Kinda sad that it’s considered informative and educational, today. RIP.
