We had been so worried about him from the first we heard of it hitting Lambeth House. Thought he had escaped it. You were beloved, Tom.

Damn. I thought he’d gotten past it. This damn thing is no joke. RIP

Prior to Hakeem dropping the ball, his kick was probably the coolest highlight in Saints history. RIP Tom

My wife and I met him at the Saints Hall of Fame in 2011. He told us how back then the players didn't make much money and most players had other jobs besides football. He told us every day after practice he would bring a case of Dixie Beer in the trunk of his car and they would sit in the parking lot and drink the entire case of beer. He was indeed a wonderful soul and we have truly lost a legend. RIP Mr. Dempsey.

A legend....take care Mr. Dempsey and peace and love to your family.

As big of a Saints fan as I am, I have never once seen this video, only slow motion replays. Great stuff.
