Sad news. Loved swapping PMs with him back in the day.

 

He was "John Garfield" on here and secondsout

 

RIP... He was a nice man

 

Thanks. I don't remember him, but he seems to have left a good impression, RIP

 

Same as Hut.

RIP.

 

I remember him. He was very humble, and knowledgeable. RIP.

 

sad news indeed RIP

 

He was a bit older and had a very sharp memory of the 40s and 50s when he grew up... I believe he was a New Yorker or at least grew up there... Used to tell cool stories about the fights at the Garden... Huge Ray Robinson fan, as well

His screename was for the actor John Garfield who was the lead in the most famous version of "Body and Soul"

 

was a nice guy indeed, rest in peace.

R.I.P. Mr. Garfield

 

Sad news. He once wrote me a message motivating me to become Fightbeat's official movie critic. Very nice gentleman. RIP Mr. Garfield.

Joe was the Army Featherweight Champion in the fifties while I was the Air Force Featherweight Champion in the eighties.
