I offer my deepest condolences to the Dingle family. Words cannot express the pain I feel losing Ding. He was one of my closest friends. Who would have known a South Carolina Gamecock and a Clemson Tiger would get along so well. As soon as, I got to The Chargers Ding took me under his arms and showed me the ropes. I was with him damn near everyday. I greatly appreciated that time. Ding was a warm, caring spirit. He wrapped his arms around everyone he met. A friend like you can never...
