Good post man, R.I.P. Huge Nasser, always remembered...and good to see you back Big King.
You have many fond memories of time spent with your friend. I hope you have no regrets. Life moves us in strange ways. Hold on to all those good times you shared with your friend. He lives now in your memories. Those memories can bring you much comfort.
As an old man, there have been a lot of people I loved who have passed before me. This is what happens when you live a long time. The best way to remember and honor your friends and family who have passed is to remember all the best times you shared with them.
Thanks guys, great posts much appreciated. Nasser enjoyed getbig which he qualified as the Victorian Circus of bodybuilding. Contrary to many false rumors he was always an observer. The most interesting characteristic about him was his consistency; moral and physical, which most likely contributed to him being a tier one competitor for so many years. Nasser was too smart for bodybuilding but had the incredible genetics, that talent that can't be ignored. Remember that 15 years ago things were different and the consequences weren't as well known as they are now. The recognition was also different; now nobody gives a shit; I don't who half of these new guys are but back then, it was still the golden age.
On a personal level, I had the opportunity to gain his respect and had honest conversations about pretty much everything he had a view on which was literally universal

GodSpeed to him.
