A hell of an athlete and person:

1956 Summer Olympics, Decathalon, silver medal.

1960 Summer Olympics, Decatalon, GOLD medal. Was also flag bearer for Team USA.

1968 assists in subduing Sirhan Sirhan after assassinating Robert Kennedy.

1984 lights cauldron at Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.

 

Sleep well, sir. :(

Too young to have ever seen him live, but have heard quite a bit about him.

 

A life well lived, RIP
