Such a terrible loss for Arnold and so many others, but great to see him being honored. I can't help but comment about Arnold after watching this. He has always been a hero in my eyes and was always the person I looked up to most. A truly inspirational person. It's funny, the one time I met him I was only 9yrs old. He tried to shake my hand, and I wouldn't because I didn't feel like I wasn't good enough to do so. They say never meet your heroes, but this man will not disappoint. Franco was my best friend's inspiration, as Arnold is to me, and he died on his birthday. Strange. It is sad to see the heroes of his generation aging and passing away. They will be missed for so many reasons. R.I.P. Franco.
