We lost arguably the best football player ever and one of the best people that we have ever had the pleasure of knowing.

RIP Sweetness

And incidentally he played that many years with the Bears too.
Yes it is sad
We see Brittany here in Chi-town on this show. Chicago's Best http://chicagosbesttv.com/
I have met his whole family and The first time I met them I said the "I'm sorry for your lose and I loved Walter" But then I felt guilty since I never meet him and got to know him like I have with the rest of his family. They are just down to earth people and seem to like to do what I have read about Walter did when he was alive......I'm sure he is so proud of the way they turned out to be.

My grandpa used to drive limos for SW Chicago Limousine and he drove Walter around quite a bit. I got to meet him several times(I was only about 6-7 years old), but he was one of the nicest people I can remember

Rip!

He is under appreciated in the sport. He was fast, elusive, and violent when need be! Of all the rbs toting the ball today only Adrian Peterson shows a resemblance to that skill set!

I agree with all you said. I mean to watch him play was a treat. He was a back that would never run out of bounds to avoid a hit
