🥇🥇🥇 Sammy Davis Jr 🥇🥇🥇 He's been gone from us for 32 years but obviously will never be forgotten. What a man. He did it all. He handled life's ups and downs with class, style, and humour in such a way that he made you feel grateful to be alive and around that. That is a rare ability found in only the top performers.

Born 8 Dec 1925, and being 63 as he said he was, makes the year either late 1988 or 1989. Wow, these days I remember full well. Going down to Memphis, then San Diego, El Paso and the Frisco Bay. As he pointed out society in the 1950s wasn´t ready for mingling of people. Today it´s possible to an extent not to be even dreamed of then.

I worked at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles back in the early eighties. I was a Medical Transporter in the Comprehensive Cancer Center. They called me to the station and send me to one of the Doctor's office. When i went to the Doc's Office. There he was. Mr. Sammy Davis Jr. He was in his final months of his life. I sat him carefully (as with any other patient sincerely)...I was a mere 20 something years old guy. As I took him and his wife to their car, I remember well he gave me a $5 Tip telling me...."Here Kid" for a sandwich. He seemed and looked very tired and I remember saying a silent prayer for him. 2 or 3 months later he would die. That day this very humble man showed that sparkle in his eyes tired of feeling pain and physically weak due to cancer. Still he was this noble soul within a broken body. A class act even with cancer upon him.
