RIP Dave Draper

[kevin25]

 From John DeFendis:RIP: Dave Draper
  I am very saddened to find out today that Dave Draper, my biggest inspiration in bodybuilding as I was growing up has passed away.
   Dave was a Mr. America and Mr. Universe Winner and was on all of the magazine covers when I was a kid. He was cool and I loved the
70’s training pictures of him in his headband hammering away at his workouts.
Dave also starred in several movies, including “Don’t Make Waves” with the late Sharon Tate.
 Years later Dave and I became friends and we flew him out to Arizona to do a private seminar for just our circle of bodybuilders.
He was a great champion with a big heart and he will be missed.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Nothing about it yet on the forum he owns.

Sad. It's strange to say about a near 80 year old man, but I wouldn't have guessed he'd go this year.

Confirmed by his wife -

"Laree Draper -

Hi, friends, as the word's getting out, I wanted to let you know so there's no confusion. Dave died early this morning. I was with him and it was calm and peaceful. It, as his doctor told me a little while ago, was a good death."

[Howard]

 

I remember seeing that episode as a boy .
Always cracked up Granny calling him " all swole up with lumps and bumps."

Draper was one of the greats from the golden era of BB.

Pump in Peace

oh yeah he had a case of the barbells. I remember they told granny he was Mr.Universe and he said just call me Dave so Jed introduced him as Dave Universe. R.I.P. Dave

Another one in 2021....

RIP to a bodybuilding legend.

RIP to a bodybuilding legend.

Draper would’ve turned 80 in a few months. That is a long life in my opinion. He was a great bodybuilder and he sold quality gym equipment.

[BayGBM]

Inspired it’s if people.  RIP

[SexyCustomSynthesis250]

have Getbiggers got any shit talk on Dave at all?

if not, that should stand as a glowing testament to the honour, righteousness and Godliness of Draper, so cascaded as he may have been with ethics, values and fucking principles. Dignity made manifest.

His wife should be here and paying fucking attention, but oh no, I'll bet she's at some iron age shit fest getting the knockers shined up by a bunch of old fags and cunts that have never looked at a gym much less used one.

I mean if sincere condolences don't mean Jack shit at Getbig they don't mean fuck all anywhere else.

Fucking cunts

Sad news. R.I.P.

Definitely lived a full life though.

[Bevo]

Arnold must be scared for his life these days, Corney, Franco, Draper, many others from his generation getting old and dropping 

That’s how life goes

[lsr_asr]

My favorite BB from the golden era.  Weider's poster boy before Arnold.  In countless ads in the late 60's and early 70's promoting Weider products with adoring babes.  Teenage boys wanted to build muscles like Dave and get the girls like Dave.

Sad news. R.I.P.

You didn't know him personally, you're a fucking hanger on, make you feel good posting that does it?

You'll be on a virtual group chat with you faggit buddies later bragging about it

sad cunt

R.I.P. to a great icon of the sport.

If it wasnt for Dave I would have never discovered Getbig.

He was a true gentlemen and an example of character and integrity to this industry.

[oldtimer1]

Wow, I feel like I knew him.  He grew up in a New Jersey in a near by town to where I grew up. He worked at Weider’s in Union City, NJ on 32nd street.  I use to go in there as a kid and they would give me free stacks of magazines that were expired. He was a really unique and talented writer.  He seemed to love training more than he loved competing.  He did have heart trouble decades ago that nearly killed him then but he recovered.  Truly one of the biggest stars of bodybuilding.
