I loved this guy. I saw dozens of fights when he was at ringside. He always had insightful comments. I am so lucky to have been in this world when such a talent as Ferdie Pacheco was here. I will never forget. I'm sixty-six and it won't be too long before I get to shake his hand in person, and thank him for all the excitement he gave to me while he was here on this earth. God bless him.
