I remember when I worked in retail during college and customers would come in buying Bama gear. I remember this one lady telling me story of how she remembered the day he died. She said that her dad started screaming, "He's dead, he's dead, I can't believe he's dead" She said that on the day of the funeral he was slumped down in the couch with his dress clothes on, tie mangled out of frustration, holding a bottle of Jack with tears pouring down his eyes. The imagery in my head of this is hilarious

This is like a 15 out of 10 on the "How Alabama Are You?" Rating System.

All you had to do was scroll down and click on the Bama board...

Who can forget this timeless classic that followed in his honor.

We love you and we miss you Bear.

I have hunted at a deer camp which has the autopsy table that was used for his autopsy.
I even had a deer which I killed cut up on it.

I remember it was a very cold day, and believe me nobody wanted to get out in it to roll Toomers. I think it was the first example of "Fake News". Something only the Harvey Updykes of the world believed.
