    I was just thinking about him and his work in boxing yesterday, coincidental that he would die just as I was thinking about him.

    RIP, his fight posters are some of my favorites.

    Another 'character' lost from a golden era of the sport.

    That's a shame. I loved his unique artwork. He did one of Bowe for The Ring's cover which was beautiful.
