Muggsy was a fine human being. Like all of us humans, Muggs was not perfect but in my experience of him, I could find no reason to ever offer any criticism of him as a person. Gentle, caring and giving, Muggsy was always there when his help was needed.
In the days before the state boxing commission when the Colorado Boxing Alliance was adminstering boxing in Colorado, Muggsy was asked to step back from referreeing and help in other ways. While it must have been a disappointment to him, he never compained but instead pitched in and helped as much as he could in other roles. He not only did an excellent job, but he did it with grace and class.
I'll miss you my friend, and will keep you in my heart for the rest of my days.
