Pac Man was always a good guy he just a man that started hanging out with the wrong crowd as a kid and he was a young man that took no gruff from nobody and in turn had a short temper and always found trouble.
He was always loyal to his friends and if you talked with some of his friends and teammates they would tell you how good the guy is as a friend and someone they could depend on.
He just had to mature. Taking on the responsibility of raising a Team mates sons after he died. That is a big responsibility. And one also has to wonder if there was nobody else, no relatives that would take those kids...or if there were maybe they knew that he was better off financially and knew his true character to take care of those kids.
Pacman took a long time to grow up. But I think raising those kids made him do so. Put in perspective of what is important and not do some of the dumber things you might do as a younger person.
Sometimes parenthood will make a young wild man grow up. Not always but it does happen and it happens to men that some thought would always be in trouble and immature.
Good for him and hope Chris Henry Jr and his little brother have a great life.
