“What in the world do we do with Reggie White?” - John Ward

 

Still cannot believe he died.

 

ESPN put out their All Time All American teams today.

Reggie White was first team.

 

I was driving to Knoxville when they announced it on ESPN radio. I cried like a baby.

He is THE reason I am a Packers fan.

 

This is a funny story -

I'm trying to find audio of Golic telling the Here comes Jesus story, but can't find it.

 

Best I could do:

Yeah, I saw that, but Golic telling it, rather laughing the whole time, adds a different level to it.

 

Passed way too soon.

 

Interestingly, when he was with the Memphis Showboats, his wife worked part time at a dry cleaners on Mt Moriah with my brother.

 

Anyone here have any direct interaction with him?

 

Reggie White Quotes
God places the heaviest burden on those who can carry its weight.

People consider me a success because I’m a good football player and make lots of money. But if my heart’s not right, if I’m not living a life pleasing to God, I’m a failure.

One thing that I don’t think my critics realize about me is that I’ve been trained to look adversity in the face.

I have a lot of respect for tough coaches.

 

Remember that half court shot?

 

Yeah. I went to that "dry cleaners"on Mt Moriah for a friend's bachelor party. Was your brother the security liaison or the director of musical services?

 

Ha. Purple church original owner Danny Owens I believe lives in a halfway house in Nashville now.

 

Ralph Lunati was the owner of Platinum. Pretty much all the others were either owned by Owens or Cooper.

 

Iir, Owens owned in 80s when they originally opened. Then Lunati reopened after years of being closed down.

 

That could be possible as Danny owned quite a few before he went to prison for tax evasion.
