![]() When I was really down in the dumps or just needed somebody to talk to, I would walk over there and say hello. I live in Pasadena, not even probably five minutes away from his store. He always cared about his customers and he was almost like a surrogate father/grandfather to his customers. Rest in peace my old friend, I will miss you. I knew I should have called before I come up this Black Friday to see him and I guess I was a little too late. It’s with a heavy heart that I write to think this person who I knew for so long and share laughs, some smoke and fond memories of comics, rock stars and life, bop, bop, bop. I lived down the street as a kid, but then moved to North Carolina and would still come to his shop every six months to see him. We shared lots of stories of rock stars who would come from the night club that used to be next store. We were good friends he nicknamed me “the rocker” because I played in bands and had long hair. He was like visiting the candy store for my son! Pokémon, baseball cards. I drove by yesterday and was happy to see cars in the parking lot, so maybe this will rejuvenate the business for his family, even for a little bit. That smell of old comic books hits you in the face and immediately takes you back. It was one of the first places my mom reluctantly let me ride my bike to as long as I took the backroads to play his son Chris for hours at “Overpower.” I was happy a few months ago to be able to take my stepson to pick out a few comics and pass that tradition on to him. He was the glue of the league for over 10 years.įudd has been a legend in Pasadena as far back as I can remember. He spent many hours getting the season ready for Opening Day. The players loved him because of his sense of humor. When we were involved with Rivera Beach Little League, he was the equipment supervisor and made sure that every player had their uniform and equipment needed to play. He was very passionate about everything he accomplished.
