Sadly I never got to meet him even though he had coached a community college team maybe 20-30 minutes from my house...loved kids...really was a big kid at heart but had incredible strength...would see from time to time he would be making an appearance somewhere and I would plan on going but circumstances always came up and I never got that chance...RIP Chocolate Thunder

Sad. i wonder if he took care of himself. 58 is so young. I know some younger people might be thinking WTF but as you age you will realize you will be 58 before you know it.

True, but genetics is an important component to heart disease.... in addition to taking care of yourself.

Or in my case 60.

Sad to hear about Dawkins.

Genetics play only a very little part of heart disease, researchers now tell us. Cyclic familiar behaviors play a huge part, but they now know that micro-nutrients activate dormant genes that are vital to health and longevity. Although congenital factors are hard to repair. (if found)
