Awesome. Met Piper a few years back at a horror con and told the story of much my Dad hated him when I was a kid and we watched wrestling together which was our one bonding experience. He asked if my dad was going to come to the con and really wanted to see him, being moved by the whole thing. When I explained my dad could barely leave his apartment due to crippling arthritis he almost seemed to want to come and see him to say hi. Piper struck me as a very class act as a person indeed.
