The first time I ever saw him I was at Cletus's house in Pataskala,(pronounced pa-tas-ka-la) OH, I saw this MASSIVE white haired biker looking guy with the black and white "Santa Clause" beard walk thru an overhead garage door and he had to duck to walk in the garage....HOLY CRAP...WHO IS THIS GUY, HE'S FRIGGIN' HUGE!!!!! I went to his house once with Cletus and he took us down the basement to see a new arm wresting training machine he built. I grabbed ahold of it and I couldnt budge it. He grabs it and does several reps...holy shit. Then there was a time when we went to a bar on Brice Road in Reynoldsburg, Cletus who at the time was about 6' tall 275 lbs on one side of me and Chick 6'8" and almost 400 lbs on the other and all of us drinking beer. I was about 16 and the bartender was looking at me like I know you're not old enough to be drinking but she would look at Chick and Cletus and just walk away...lol. I have since quit drinking. Then there were the stories I've heard about when Chick was stocking drywall or as some call it sheetrock and Chick unloading carts of drywall with just his thumbs, he was that strong. I saw Chick working security at the AC/DC Back In Black concert at St Johns Arena on the O.S.U campus, he immediately recognized me and said if he had known that I was going to the concert he would have got my girlfriend and I backstge passes to meet the band I knew his wife Linda who was a real sweetheart and I went to school with his daughter Tina. If you were lucky enough to have Chick as a friend you had one of the truest friends anyone could ask for. God rest his soul. Miss you Chick.

He was always tall but was kind of skinny when he was young. Had a really magnetic personality and was a lot of fun. The girls really liked him. When we were about 12 years old both of us told our parents we were going to spend the weekend in the country at the aunt's house of the other boy. Then we took off on our bikes and rode down to southern Ohio, slept outside. We had to ride double part of the way. We were tanned nearly black and our lips were cracking by the time we got back but it was a great trip. He was always entertaining, always a leader, always honest and always kind.

Some how Prince got word of this venue and wanted to check it out between shows. They stopped in and Big Chick and everyone met Mike Mays who was about 6'6 300lbs and was offered a security job with Prince. I remember being 12 and hanging out at the hotel before a show in Cleveland on the Purple Rain tour and Big Chick and Mike Mays were up to practical jokes and was messing with Sheila E's brother to a point he was almost in tears. I have never forgot that time. Being 12 years old and how big Purple Rain was and how Prince was propelling himself into a SuperStar. I still brag about those days with old friends. It is still hard to beleive that both Big Chic and Mike are gone and have been for awhile. But never forgotton good people!!! Both could make everyone smile and laugh at the snap of a finger. in the 80s, my dads best freind was working at a bar in Lancaster, Ohio called the Charlie Horse.
