How sad it was to read that this colorful character is no longer with us.
Each year, when I attended the finals of the Golden Gloves in NYC [it will be this Friday 3/30] it was always a delight to see Bert Sugar, hat on head, cigar in mouth, joyfully meeting and greeting all who approached him.
He was one of those men who lit up a room and made you feel good just being around him.
RIP Bert.
