Saw him in Louisville at Hunt Auction in Nov 2012. He was getting a lifetime achievement award from Louisville Slugger. He looked in pretty bad shape then. Had had a number of surgeries on the neck for the cancer. He sat in a chair and greeted everyone but did a fantastic speech standing up. A completely class act from a different time in baseball. Wild how much baseball and players have changed in such a short time. They gave out autographed 8x10's to people there of his. I gave mine to a great friend of mine who was a life long Padres fan. Such a shame to lose such a good person so early. RIP Tony Gwynn.
