saturn Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 NFL HOFer Art Donovan. He was a great old Baltimore Colts player. I am too young to ever have seen him play, but I met the man many times. He was really one of the coolest people, (certainly the coolest celebrity) I've ever met. He would talk to anyone and always had a funny story.

Bender 4 Life Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 not a musician but a big influence on my life, last Oct. I lost my favorite Uncle "John Henry", to a long battle with cancer. he gave a punk *** 16 yr old some "tough love" (a.k.a. a badly needed beat-down) to show me that I wasn't invincible and that if I didn't alter my course i'd likely not see 20. He literally saved my life.... Much Love and Thank You Unc-a-J ! Gone but never forgotten......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was really one of the coolest people, (certainly the coolest celebrity) I've ever met.

Artie was a piece of work. the epitome of "old school". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
