Rip George Foreman

He really had a couple parts of his life that just were outstanding. His life up to the point that he lost in the rumble in the jungle, and then when he came back after retirement after he had really found himself as a man. Death is undefeated it’s gonna get us all. Definitely prayers for his family and his friends as they hopefully get to just think of all of the great memories they had of their time with him.
i was on a call to repair (at&t) an old cord switchboard in the elks building in los angeles where he was training for one of his early pro bouts when i saw him talking to a reporter in the sidewalk. stoped to say hello and let him know i was a fan of his. he flashed a big smile and shook my hand which disapeared in the biggest hand i had ever seen. a wonderful human being. god bless .
Except against Jesus.
From all accounts I'm aware of, Foreman was a great guy. RIP.
Always liked big George. Never seen a guy look so ferocious as a fighter and become such a teddy bear with a great smile later in life. RIP George.
Read once that Hulk Hogan was offered the grille first and turned it down..??
R.I.P George, he was awesome

It's odd how this seems to go sometimes, but a few days ago (before George passed) I heard a story about the Foreman Grill. Apparently, it was thought to be one of those "flash in the pan" sold on TV gadgets that earned a quick profit and wound up at garage sales a year later. Several celebrities turned down the offer to endorse it. George did not and sales continue to exceed all expectations.
And to a lesser extent, don't forget Enoch. Walked with God right up into heaven never having died. Just straight leveled up into eternity from mortality. Praise God!
