The greatest truth about Andre was what his greatest pleasure was. When he got a break from the arduous schedule, he loved to go back to his childhood home of Grenoble, meet up with his childhood friends, and play cards with them. To the world, he was the legendary "Andre the Giant," but to his friends, he was just Andre. The only thing that had changed was that he'd pay for drinks.

+pete lewis I first saw Andre 40 years ago, in the now-defunct AWA, the American Wrestling Association. A young Gene Okerlund was the announcer/interviewer there (before both he and Andre later migrated over to the WWF, along with a lot of other wrestlers Vince McMahon lured away). Anyway, in that first tv interview I saw, Okerlund was asking Andre all those same kinds of questions: his size, his custom-made shoe and jacket size, and all that; and Andre accomodated him. It really is unfortunate that so many in society gawk at people who are of unusual size just as they gawk at a disabled person with an unusual walk (and then all the questions come, "How did you get that?" etc). Society has so much to learn!

Met Andre and Ted Dibiase after an exhibition at a high school in Brooklyn around 1980 when I was 17. I remember my eyes being at the same level as Andre's middle back. Got both their autographs on the program, wish I still had it today. Dibiase asked us for directions

It was late 80s I was driving Taxi in Las Vegas and I got a radio call late one night to go down the ramp in the back of the Thomas and Mack Center. Sure enough Andre the Giant and his manager jump in the back of my taxi. His manager talked the whole time and Andre just seem to smile to himself he had a beautiful aura about him like a gentle creature. I'll never forget that.

I was about 14 years old in the mid 70s and I went to a wrestling match in Winston-Salem, NC where Andre was wrestling that night. I went to the area where the wrestlers came out and got next to the curtain. Andre stuck his hand through the curtain while he was peeking out. I was about 2 feet from him and could not believe the size of his hand. What a massive man. RIP Andre.

I met him at the Stampede Pavillion in Calgary in the 70's, He was standing in front of the doors the wrestlers come out of, arms crossed across his chest, VERY imposing. A ten yr old kid shaking looks up at him and asks," Mr Giant, may I have your autograph please? He looked down at me from the ring he was watchin, gruff look on his face. Broke into a huge smile and reached his hand out to me, I tried to pass my program and pen to him, he pushed them out of the way . I wasn't sure what he wanted, the person to his side told me he wanted to shake my hand. I stuck my hand out as his enveloped this young lads hand, and signed my program. VERY cool gentleman.

I met Andre in 1978-79 in Bham, Al., at an automotive shop I working at. My boss called me over and introduced me to him. I am a tall, big guy myself, but he towered over me. When we shook hands his hand swallowed mine. He was very nice and polite. Side note: I despise Letterman!
