Tony and Ken Waller used to hang out at nightclubs and drink like fish. They had reps of being real bad asses but always were cool to me and bought me drinks. They got banned from the Swedish Inn Smorgasbord on Lincoln Blvd. in Westchester, CA (very close to Loyola Marymount University) for eating too much chicken. Tony was a good guy. RIP 

Ha, so did me, Rory, Jon Aranita and Bob Paris. Too bad about Tony, I met him only once.

Tony Nowak - RIP

For those of you who didnt know who Tony was, "Tony made the official jackets for the Arnold Classic each year. Tony’s jackets are individually built, never mass produced and use top quality materials. All Tony’s jackets are made in-house in the European tradition he’s used for so many years. You can wear the same Tony Nowak Original jacket that Arnold wears!"   He will be missed.

The man Arnold refers to as "Big Tony" in Pumping Iron has passed away while vacationing in Italy. He was also the man who created those great Arnold Classic jackets.

PIP Big Tony  :(

I see him every year at the Arnold and Olympia, but I never knew that was him in Pumping Iron.

RIP!

Cause many were fucking druggies.  Especially the ones out in LA (CA).  I mean come on dude....coke, H, all that shit was no big deal during the 60s and 70s when most of these guys were young and carefree.  Look at all the fucking coke and rec drugs in Pro BBing nowadays.  It's insane.  But most people buy into Chick's squeaky clean bullshit facade of BBing.   ::)  Most of these old guys were either alcoholics ala Vince Gironda or cokehead druggies ala Dave Draper.
