I still don’t believe it. Bra Hugh? TJO
Tough way to start the year for his family. Cancer is one hell of a serious diesese guys.
Let’s hope the media doesn’t do what they normally do – disrespect the dead by digging dirt on them after their passing. We don’t want to be reading negative things about our legends.
RIP Bra Hugh.
