The executive director of the Society of St Vincent de Paul in Phoenix, AZ, has paid tribute to the volunteer work of the late boxing champion Muhammad Ali.
Steve Zabilski wrote that Ali, with his wife Lonnie, were regular volunteers at the society’s dining rooms.
Mr Zabilski stated that Ali was part of the Vincentian family.
“He came to our dining rooms to be with our guests. Not to lecture. Not to judge.
“He simply wanted to be with those less fortunate, those who were struggling.
“He wanted to let them know that they were Important. That they were loved.”
