When I started having kids, I thought, 'I don't want to do anything they can't watch.'

I think the saddest moment in my life just happened two months ago. My old nightclub partner passed away, Phil Erickson down in Atlanta. He - I owe him everything. He put me in the business and taught me about everything I know.

I have four kids, seven grandkids, and four great-grandkids. Maybe I can become a great-great-grandfather if I hang on!

I went from my mother to my wife. And to this day, I can't bear to be alone.
