Manny Steward Funeral Pics

As many of you guys know, my father was a former fighter (fought some pro, but did most of his work as amateur). He was an outstanding fighter out of St.Louis and thanks to boxing, he had the chance to meet many great fighters and trainers from the past. One of the those trainers was the great Manny Steward, whom my father met when he was a teenager (I met Manny as well). That was also the time that my dad met my godfather, Milton McCrory and a host of other guys from Kronk gym. Guys like Hilmer Kenty, Stevie McCrory (RIP), Tommy Hearns, and the list goes on. My dad went up to Detroit for Mannys funeral. He took a pictures with a bunch of people and I wanted to share them with everyone. He said he had a great time with all of the old guys, and he kept bragging about how Aretha Franklin hugged and kissed him. Sad that the service for Manny was a great one and that he will be missed. Anyways, thought you guys would appreciate these. http://www5.picturepush.com/photo/a/11418993/640/11418993.jpg Evander http://www1.picturepush.com/photo/a/11419019/640/11419019.jpg AP http://www5.picturepush.com/photo/a/11419018/640/11419018.jpg Milton McCrory (godfather) -left Floyd Favors (like an uncle to me) - middle Vincent Webb (dad)- right http://www4.picturepush.com/photo/a/11419017/640/11419017.jpg Aretha Franklin

Thank you TS for the pictures and the other poster who posted the video, nice pictures and videos RIP Emanuel. Thanks for the pics Coach. You and your dad are carbon copies lol. Great stuff Webb! I saw the title and was thinking man we don't want to see that but I was wrong. I know they were sad and miss him but it looks like they were there to celebrate his life and not mourn his death. That's how it should be! Your pops looks like a G! Very nice pictures. Wish it had been open to the public to pay their respects. Thanks for the comments everyone. Glad that you guys enjoyed them. Will had more later.

I live in Detroit and was hoping they'd have a public tribute we could go to. I really wanted to see all the fighters. :grumpy:

Lennox really got that Stevie wonder look going on... I think its time to lose the dreads and just go bald.
