He served in the USCG 1950-1953. Played in a few CG and USO golf tournament fundraisers in Ohio prior to my time there. Heard he was a class act.

RIP!

Damn. A true legend. :(

Was lucky enough to see him a few years back at his tourney in Bay Hill. Good man. Sad day.

He was a bad ass, met him once at Bay Hill as a kid and I will always remember that.

Only saw him play after his prime, but he still had one of the biggest followings of any of the players. Never be another like him.

Man this weekend is just the cherry on top of a horrific year.

 

[Since65]

The single most charismatic person I ever met. He treated me with great kindness when I was a young inexperienced radio reporter. One of the great thrills of my early media days was when he called me by my first name!
There will never be another one like him.

Met him at the airport next to his Citation X in Palm Springs years ago. He amassed over 20,000 hours as a pilot.
