That rare bodybuilder who is worthy of true praise, both as a muscleman and as a human being.

A fine gentleman who shames, in all ways, a majority of personalities who exist, and who have existed, in our subculture.

Bill is an individual to look up to. To attempt to emulate.

Rest in peace, Mr. Pearl.

Fortress gives hail.

I vividly recall that photo you posted from around that era. Incredible strength, Cook.
