    I knew Willie Daniel when I was at State, super nice man. So very very sad story.
    P.S. Congratulations Rick on your HOF induction, very well earned and very much deserved.

    Nice read....I knew him back in the 70's, knew his kids and worked out at his health club in Starkville.......concussions are now being treated with the seriousness that they deserve.

    My dad worked for Willie growing up and loved him and the family. When Willie passed, his family was kind enough to make my dad one of the custom cowbells they made in Willie's honor for friends and family. It sits on his office desk
