On that note, once I was stuck in the Denver airport and met Jerry Quarry's younger brother, who was at the time pursuing a boxing career. I can't remember his name, but he was excited that I had met Ali and knew that his brother fought him.
Jerry died a few years ago after falling backwards down the stairs of his front porch and hitting his head, a victim of punch drunkness/Parkinsons, which often cannot be distinguished.
