It’s not necessary for a person to look 20 even at 60 - age is just a number, but the respect, love and legacy you earn over the years are what truly matter. He has entertained generations, given countless people opportunities, helped many and always stood up for others. Yesterday was yet another reminder of why he will always be a hero ❤️"
