That's sad. Did they mention a cause?

I know he'd been dealing with throat cancer for some time.

I'm honestly surprised this didn't happen sooner. He's been sick for a long time.  In 2005 all him,  Ronnie,  and Hayes were at the same autograph show as my dad and he didn't look good then.  Another wrestler retires to that squared circle in the sky.

Great pic of your dad. Looks like Buddy Roberts wore The Stars and Bars all the way to the very end.
