When asked what he had told his younger himself, Vance said: “Just try to be smart and move differently.”

“Stay outside. Do you know what I say?” he said. “You don't really have no points to prove … … you just have to be you.”

Nick Muir, who works in a mobile phone business of Edwater Verizon, said he found out on Monday morning when he came to work.
