Some say there are no heroes in real life. Some say heroes on the screen are not the same in real life. I can tell you for a fact that is not the case, since I had the privilege of knowing well one of them. Chuck Norris was the reason I came to Texas, and by far one of the greatest advocates and benefactors of the Machado Family. His friendship was genuine and never faltered to all those who had a chance to be close to him!
“I told him last time I saw him , “Chuck, I will never forget what you have done for me and my family, and I am forever grateful! I love you!”
All I heard back while looking at his eyes, which were as teary as mine was, “I love you too!”
May his beautiful family have all the support and strength at this moment.
All I can say is he was a hero to me and many others! You will be missed, Chuck!
