That is terrible news. What a great guy, both in the ring and out. One of the greats.
I knew he was up in age. He lived a long life.
He will be missed...but I do not feel sadness...he left a great legacy and standard for Refs....and he got to see classic fights in a way NOBODY else....including the fighters got to see them.
If they let Refs into the HOF...he deserves a spot...excellent ref.
