I hadn't realized that he was from Kentucky, the state I had moved to in 2007. He was part of the opening ceremonies at the 2010 World Equestrian Games that I was volunteering at & got to see him there. He was more down to earth in person than he was trying to put on his image.

I hadn't heard about his death until you posted this. He suffered from Parkinson's for almost 30 years. Kinda surprised he lived this long.
