The Elvis world has just lost another true gent. Al Holcome, one of Elvis' original Gladiators just passed away in Memphis. Big Al, or Mr. Bear as he he was known, had the biggest hands I had ever seen!

He was a guest at the Gladiator reunion at the old Tennessee Karate Institute during EW10, but was unable to make the stairs.

Incredibly, he came and spent some time greeting fans outside the building.

Thoughts are with Al's wife, Lisa, and the Holcome family.
