I had the pleasure of meeting him a few times at track meets. I will echo what everyone else has said about his humility and kindness.
He rather talked about the outdoors or engineering or politics before track, but he was quick to offer tips to the jumpers if he saw them struggling or needing a nudge.
I also found out that his favorite snow cone flavor was peach with a hint of tiger's blood on top.
