On Saturday one of the former great Louisville Men’s Basketball players of all time was laid to rest. Felton Spencer was a hometown hero, a former All-State performer at Eastern High School, a UofL standout and a player who personified humility, hard work and dedication. As a person, he personified the same and so much more.
After hearing of Felton’s passing, like many others, I was in shock and disbelief. Immediately I began thinking about his family and friends and how they must be feeling in such a trying moment. I then thought about his teammates and those who we as Louisville fans knew were close with him: his former roommate Craig Hawley, the Honorable Derwin Webb and many, many others.
