    This is a very sad day for Cubs fans. What a wonderful person and player. So Young at heart. I'm 64 years his junior yet I feel truly impacted by his passing.

    Met him a few times over the years. He was always willing to snap a pic with or shake a Cub Fans hand. RIP Mr. Cub.... Now you can continue your good deeds from above for our beloved Cubs.
