Damn, I didn't even realize he was still alive. I remember when Joe Louis passed...

What a guy. I heard this this morning on NPR and thought, he must have been a hundred years old. I was only off by one year.

ok, i was wondering how old he was. he's referenced in a film i saw not so long ago which was made, i think, in the late 1940s.

I'm going to go take a punch in the kidneys as tribute!

He was cool though at least according to that Burns documentary of which I caught a bit. Hiding jews from the Nazis and all.
