He is an amazing man. I met him in the mid 90's while his daughter and Natalie Cole's son was at a college I worked at. He used our facilities for a book signing and I remember him walking into the building. There was the incredible aura about him. Just a weird feeling. And it was rather silent as he walked by. I had several pics taken of the two of us and then I got them signed and I framed them.

Then saw him, his wife and the daughter I knew, on a flight between Chicago and LA. I stopped and talked to his wife and daughter for a bit. The daughter seemed to remember me. But Ali whose had Parkinson wasn't talking. Pretty neat guy whose led a great life!
