I still wonder what his career would be like if he were alive. He had the perfect niche of funny, big, good hearted guy which honestly seems like that was exactly who the man was.

They never seem to last that long at that sort of weight. Reminds of a saying I heard a pilot once utter: "There are old pilots and there are bold pilots but there are no old bold pilots."

His career was already in a bit of a downturn. I doubt it would have lasted much longer.
