How did he die? Was it suicide?
Died in his sleep so probably heart attack.
Oh ok cheers..
FORTRESS, I've also spent some time with David and Peter and first met them when they joined Gold's in the Santa Monica location which I think that Ken Sprague owned at that time.Years later we were at the present day Gold's location and Peter asked me to go on a search for Grymkowski because he was worried that Peter was not feeling well due to some serious ailment.So the search began and after knocking on a number of doors .... we eventually ended up at some restaurant similar to the old bodybuilding hangout called Zucky's where we found Peter in a deep discussion over lunch with a doctor from South America.We joined in the 20 minute conversation and once that Peter was assured that Pete G. was well and in good hands ... we departed and headed back to Gold's .... but Peter wanted to stop in the vicinity of the original Santa Monica Muscle Beach location and take a short stroll down the beach-walk.Then he asked me if I realize that he/they had made a recording ... and I said, "Nope!".And as soon as I said, "Nope!' .... he started singing.Very Loudly!And a decent size crowd gathered around and gave him a loud ovation when he was done.And then we headed back to Gold's, but before I departed .. he gave me a copy of that record which I eventually listened to ... and was damn impressed, but somehow it got losted!I believe I may have mentioned this many years ago on this board, but Keith who was a close friend with each of them would often complain about not receiving return phone calls from one of them and once said that it was a dip-lep-sia problem. (I have no idea what that is .... and can't even spell it correctly.)Peter G. once said that the best thing he ever did at Gold's (SM location) was .... placing a wooden bench inside the gym right in front of the window ..... as people would come in and sit on that bench and watch the "Barbarian brothers" and many other crazy, hard-core lifters .... and then leave after buying a Gold's Gym T-shirt.And ... back then ... it was those T-shirt sales which kept the gym in business.FORTRESS .... Do you have a copy of that recording mentioned above? Or are you aware of some sort of puppet on a string that one of the bros sold to Disney? (I forgot that story long ago.)Great memories of those good old days when the world knew just about nothing that was bodybuilding related.Back in them good old days, I would run into the brothers frequently and it was always a memorial experience.

LOL! Two doozies for sure. I bet Bob was relieved to get that interview over with.
