    Very cool! So why isn't Joyce in? Surely he is accomplished enough?

                    It's because they only can put in 3 boxers from the Modern Class. He has actually received my vote every year I was on the voting committee.

                    I am not myself right now as on Mother's Day I received a phone call stating that my brother passed away. I was asked by his wife to give the Eulogy this coming Monday. I have given approx. 250 Eulogy's and Bell Ceremonies for boxing people including such Greats as Emile Griffith, Gil Clancy, Howie Albert, Arturo Gatti, Joey Giardello, Tippy Larkin, Rocky Castellini, Joe Miceli, Paul Cavalier and Johnny Colon. I also gave the ceremony to my Father-In-Law, Mother-In-Law (last month), Sister, and Brother-In-Law. It's never easy, But when their Loved ones ask me to perform this service, I can't say no! I just Pray to God before I get up their that I do them all justice.

                      I read a verse for my Grandpa , hardest thing I've done, you must be tough

                      and Very nice! It was Joe Louis' 100th birthday the other day, I really hoped my grand dad and he were partying up that night.
