Most all people that are REAL dawg fans are ok in my book. You could tell he was that. Sorry about his death. Didn't know his age but I lost one of my best friends to the same type of cancer at age 55. I like to pick a little bit to see if a person has a sense of humor. He seemed to have one as we should all have. Never take yourself too serious. Doesn't matter how smart,famous,or rich we are-we all end the same. Like he said "just a Dawg".
