Check these guys out and you will be impressed and will learn something.

On my facts I will try to be deep, for me that is.

1)

Proudest moment in my life. The first time I held my oldest son, Darius James Walton, soon to be 24 years old. Darius loves to write, but he is not blogging yet!

2)

My first wife died of breast cancer when I was 31. I had a big house on a golf course, a new baby, was in a leadership role and a great life. There are many things you can do to protect your family, but when a loved one is sick you are helpless. God controls all, as hurt as I was, I discovered what was and is most important in life. It was and is not many of the things I take pride in.

3)

My father a tough man, former boxing champ, underground miner and never took asprin, was screaming out in pain from bone cancer. I called my older brother and sister for advice, but the decision was mine to pull the plug and do what ever you have to, but get him out of pain. Morphine was brought in and my dad was out of pain. He spent his last 12 hours sleeping peacefully, a very handsome man, he looked at peace 84 years of life came to an end.

4)

Ok not so deep. I played on a football team that did not lose a game for 3 years and won 2 titles. I benched 330 lbs at 50 years old 3 times. My favorite teams, New York Knicks, Buffalo Bills, Chicago Bears and New York Yankees.

5)

My son with my current wife is Autistic. Talib is 18 and my wife has done a remarkable job as his case worker. She had done a good job with me, I must admit I don’t always listen well! I love her dearly and have to show it better. Our daughter Salihah was a model for Ebony Fashion Fair and has appeared in national magazines.
