I got a call Saturday that I had been fearing for quite a long time.
It was from my companion and long-lasting games composing associate, Tommy Hicks.
At the point when I saw his name streak up on my wireless, I stopped for only a couple of moments before I replied.
Now and again you simply know, you know?
Tommy did without a doubt convey the news: Our mate - actually everyone's amigo - Vic Knight passed on Saturday morning at 62 years old.
Vic battled disease as hard as possible however long he could.
He made innumerable excursions to the MD Anderson Cancer Clinic in Houston for the most recent few years.
There were great days and a ton of awful, Vic told me as of late.
However, he was still Vic - my pal, everyone's amigo.
A Stoughton, Wis., local and glad alumni of Ole Miss, Vic had worked in sports media and the board in Mobile beginning around 1988. I originally came to know him a little when he was media relations head of the Senior Bowl - a post he held for a very long time.
Our kinship - our fellowship - extended when he became senior supervisor of Ladd-Peebles Stadium in Mobile through the Mishkin Group. Vic spent the greater part of his life helping the media in some limit.
It's fitting that the Alabama Sports Writers Association will respect him at their 50th yearly meal June 12 in Birmingham as a Hall of Honor beneficiary. It's the most noteworthy honor introduced by the ASWA to a non-sportswriter for their commitments to the affiliation and their amazing skill.
At the point when Tommy and I conveyed the news to Vic a couple of months prior and when it was delivered to people in general in April, Vic was so lowered and excited. He didn't anticipate the honor, yet he most certainly merited it.
