Paul McCartney is among many celebrities remembering the great Muhammad Ali, who passed away Friday, May June 3, at the age of 74.

McCartney penned a tribute to the legendary boxer:

“Dear Muhammad Ali. I loved that man. He was great from the first day we met him in Miami, and on the numerous occasions when I ran into him over the years. Besides being the greatest boxer, he was a beautiful, gentle man with a great sense of humour who would often pull a pack of cards out of his pocket, no matter how posh the occasion, and do a card trick for you. The world has lost a truly great man. Love Paul”

The Fab Four first met Muhammad Ali in February 1964.
