Better Late Than Never, right Big Al?

You know how sometimes you think up things that would have been great to say at the moment, only to have been too late to say it? That doesn't often happen to me, but this afternoon it did.

I didn't think of it at the funeral. If I would have, I would have gone up and said it, but I didn't so I'll say it here:

A few months ago I was driving with Grandpa and we we're talking about what we talked about 90% of the time... wrestling. We had been talking about Ric Flair and I said to him "How in the world does he keep going? He's been on a full-time schedule for most of the last 35 years."

Grandpa said, "Flair is Flair because he loves being Ric Flair."

Well, Grandpa was Grandpa because he loved being Al Findlay.

To me, that says more about him than anything.

Godspeed, Big Al.
