Yes, he was an Amazing man!! After the accident, he refused to put the horse, which caused the terrible tragedy down. Further, he told his wife, "I understand that u have needs that I'm Not able to satisfy, so it's OK if u date other men, go to movies, etc.^ Now his wife was one Heckuva Classy Lady too! She said, "No, I married u for better or worse til death do us part. My place is by ur side. And that's where I choose to be always." Furthermore, she died of lung cancer, but she never smoked!! Second-hand smoke killed her.

Andi, Not necesarily, people get lung cancer who have not been exposed to cigarette smoke.
Andi
I sure hope and pray that he’s in God’s memory. That way, God can resurrect him in the new order because he was such a great, amazing man!! May he and his wife, RIP.

I believe he got his start in a soap opera. He got a chance to audition for Superman and when he got the part, he had to do extensive bodybuilding to look like Superman! Most ironic.
