He passed at the age of 83. This stings a bit as today is my 46th birthday and as a youngster my parents would always get me tickets to see the Globetrotters as a present. After the game we would always go to Frisch's for a hot fudge sundae. Great times. Those basketball games fueled my love of the game, and Meadowlark was always in the middle of the comedic mayhem. I always wanted a face full of confetti (or water) lol.
Rest in peace funny man...you're ballin' in Heaven now.
