I remember seeing him in the 70s, a really nice guy RIP. I think my son still has a HGT basketball signed by the whole team

Rest in Peace my friend, you'll be missed by millions and the tens of thousands that you touched personally buddy!!

My Mom went to high school in Edwardsville Ill where a young who went by the name of 'Govenor' went on to become a globetrotter in the 60's, he was soo cool and loved as well, he's stayed in touch with my Mom and her sister and I've met him many times over the years, met Meadowlark a few as well, awesome man, always brought a young kid out to play and teach a few tricks, and gave hugs to the parents...a few more like him could keep all the crap young kids start doing today...a TRUE role model!!!!!
