As a basketball fan of 80 plus years, I have never seen a big man with such gracefully movements. When he was well there was none better, without additions Tarp could have been the GOAT.

I am from Prichard, AL and meet Roy and Cassandra when they were visiting their uncle and aunt Larry & Brenda Edwarrds when we were going to Blount High School. When I heard of his passing my heart went out to the family.
God Bless the Tarpley Family,
