It's probably on YouTube if you search. shite was depressing.

It used to be on YouTube but I had it removed. You see I am the one who made that video for Mr. Wally, Mrs. Terry, Nick & Haley. The family are the only ones that have a copy and I told them that if they wanted to re-produce it for the foundation that would be fine. But, just like I thought, they never have and until they do....I will never make a copy!

Because I do not want it duplicated....I made it for the Pontiff family as a gift...they watch it at home and show it during the game or during WP Foundation Events....and that is it

Maybe because he made the video as a gift to his parents for their son that died? I don't see what's so hard to understand about that

All part of the entitled society.

So nobody else can remember & appreciate a fallen tiger great? got it

That's not the point, I'm sure there are plenty of highlight videos of him out there. This particular video was made specifically for Wally's parents by a guy that posted in this thread. And if they don't want it public then you should respect their wishes and not question it. This was their son.

Yeah, seems like keeping the video out there would be a great way to make his memory last for younger generations who never saw him play.

If the family doesn't want it public that's one thing. He said he had it removed. If you asked the family I'd bet they would love to have it out there, for everyone to remember Wally.

They have the video. I assume if they wanted it on youtube they would put it there.

Maybe I mis-interpreted this thread, but it sounds like it was the editor's decision to pull it off the web, not the family.

but they play it in front of a stadium of 10k people?
makes sense.
id bet if they knew people wanted to see it they would be fine with it being on youtube. It's a great tribute.

You seem kind of selfish IMO. Good video, though.
Posted on 4/12/12 at 12:21 am to Lester Earl
yep I feel the same way why not share his memory with all of us?
