Not sure what to say?

YOU ARE MY FAVORITE BASKETBALL PLAYER WITH THE HARLEM GLOBETROTTERS. YOU ARE A GREAT SINGER WITH THE SONG GRAVY. I LOVE TO HEAR YOU SING. YOU MAKE ME SMILE. I JUST LOVE TO WATCH YOU PLAY WITH THE HARLEM GLOBETROTTERS WAS SO WONDERFUL. THANK YOU FOR ALL THE GREAT HAPPY MEMORIES. CARING FOR YOU ALWAYS.

I was fortunate to have watched him play in Charlotte, North Carolina when I was in high school. Our basketball coach arranged for us to be there. What I remembered was his kindness and patience with us. He signed my booklet that day. He was the only Globetrotter to do so. I have this booklet today. To know that he was a local hero and an amazing role model means even more. Thank you Curley Neal.

Thank you "Curly" for making us smile when we were sad. For making us laugh when we wanted to cry. For making us hopeful against the odds. For making us believe what one man could do.
