Always appreciate these press box tributes. What's the story behind the book?

"A copy of 'Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell' by Susanna Clark was also set out for him at his seat. Hurt had a book in hand almost everywhere he went, including press boxes. He would often read during timeouts and commercial breaks. Hurt carried Clark's book around for most of one football season."

He was always reading something, and usually it was thicker than a deep dish pizza. That's an absolutely perfect tribute.

No matter the capacity, just knowing he was there would make me happy. Frankly, it doesn't feel right he won't be at the church on Saturday for my wedding to the lovely Elizabeth Mize, whom I love like crazy.

I wouldn't be getting married to her if not for Cecil.

Very well done and very touching column. Knowing Cecil, it made me smile and cry in the same moment.
