We say goodbye to Louie Bonpua as he heads back to the hospital after carrying the Olympic Torch at Crissy Field, San Francisco in January 2002. He passed away from leukemia less than three days later. He is and always will be missed. More on Louie at http://shrimplouie.com.
and that was the last time I saw him conscious.
I was in a bit of shock when I arrived at the event and saw the ambulance and heard that he was in the hospital.
I spoke to him on the phone minutes later and did tell him that I loved him. I am so glad I did that.
