Not only did I lose the BET, I never paid my DEBT, and up until 2 months ago, he didn’t let me FORGET!!!

Red Doc wasn’t just my college mate; we both played center on the Morris Brown College football team, and that bond made us brothers. He was a great person with a big spirit, rolling around campus in that classic 1976 Chevy Impala. And nobody will ever forget how he used to sell those fried chicken wings for a dollar in the dorm — everybody loved Red Doc.We shared a lot of laughs, a lot of stories, and a lot of life. We just had a blast together this past October at Morris Brown Homecoming, and that memory will stay with me forever.”
