The day Sweetness passed….

November 2, 2007

Today is the eighth year anniversary of Payton’s final fight….probably the only one he ever lost.

Walter Payton

I remember when he died….I was just devastated, it just didn’t seem possible that something could take down Payton like that. I remember the interview towards the end where he looked skinny and weak, it tore me up to see it.

I was lucky enough to meet him at an autograph signing he did in a mall near me, I’ll never forget that and especially his handshake, it was like a vice. I still have the pic he signed hanging on my wall just above my computer monitor so I look at it all the time.

I miss the guy, I miss the heart he had and what he did for our favorite team , it’s fans and the entire city of Chicago not to count millions of fans from other teams that loved him and respected him as well.

We miss you Walter.
