R.I.P Mr. Nixon ... Life and job well done ..... http://www.mshf.com/hof/nixon_gary.htm Time waits for no man ... ride today if you can ...
Oh man, this is a shock - I knew he'd had a heart attack, but I didn't realise how ill he was. RIP Gary - forever on the top step of the podium!
Looks like he was in the hospital for a stint... turned ugly. The guy drank & smoke like there was no tomorrow but he was a bad-arse in his prime.
