Man, I knew this day would come, but that doesn't make this news any easier to swallow. Ali was hugely influential in my family's life and was a friend of the family. My dad actually used to spar with him and was in his entourage after he brought him into the NOI. I have a picture of him holding me up as a baby kissing me. This is very tough news, but its a bit easier to take knowing the humanitarian and true gem of a person he was. He was legendary in his selflessness, there are thousands of stories from people who've met him who speak about his generosity and kindness.
RIP To the Greatest.
