He was a bright force of nature, who brought joy to many through his joyous and gracious nature," she continued. Gaspard went missing Sunday afternoon while swimming with his year-old son at Venice Beach in Los Angeles.
Gaspard pushed his son to the lifeguard, before "he got pushed back down under a wave, and that's the last he's been seen," Haskett said. The swells were 6 feet, and the current was fast, as the father and his year-old son were now yards north from where the lifeguard first spotted them.
The lifeguard, whom Haskett personally debriefed, tried to deliver a "rescue can" -- a small, buoy-like device to help tow distressed swimmers back to shore.

That was a good thing because, unlike most of us, he could actually hurt you. Shad grew up in Brooklyn, near the subway station at the corner of Flatbush and Nostrand Avenues.
He told me his father had fashioned him into a fighter as a child, overseeing his training in boxing, kickboxing and Muay Thai. By the time Shad was 16, he was beating up grown men in smokers.
