I just heard Rickey Dale Crain died.

[funk51]

 We are saddened (and shocked) by the passing of a legacy Legend and one of our USPF Board of Directors Members, Rickey Dale Crain.  Rickey was an inductee in both the USPF Hall of Fame and York Barbell Hall of Fame.  Powerlifting USA magazine had labeled him the G.O.A.T. powerlifter in the 165 lb bwt class. He was a 5-time World Champion, multiple National Champion, and made/broke numerous World, National, and State Records.  Rickey was still active in ALL aspects of powerlifting.  Our sincerest condolences to his family.

Isn’t that awful are yourself and James going to the funeral?

[funk51]

   

      He was a good guy even though he was a trumptard.

   who's James ?

[funk51]

   Do NOT assume there will be a Red Wave coming, Turn out BIG or there will be NO wave!     This was his last post. He will be missed. just last year he was still squatting 500 lbs even though he had a hip replacement.

[funk51]

    I hope someone takes in his dogs.

[irishdave]

   who's James ?

Your boy

[funk51]

Your boy

     you had the name right in the other thread, John.  I would go if I lived closer RDC lives in Oklahoma. This kind of bums me out, Rickey seemed so full of life. I guess we all got to go sooner or later.

RIP.

I still want to know how much he really knew about the giant child molesting ring that was going on in the house he shared with his estranged wife -

His son would be charged with trying a similar crime years later -

The people in his town sorta said he was an asshole in real life because he had money and was super religious. If he got caught doing stupid things, he'd hem and haw about "being a man of God", etc....

Sorta left me with mixed feelings on him.

Shocked you put this up since he was a Republican.

   He was a friend of mine we argued over politics often, but I didn't hold being a trumptard against him. I bear no one ill will over politics or religion as long as those beliefs don't infringe on anyone else's freedoms.

You hold no ill will and you called him a retard.

You are infringing on our freedoms because democrats want to ban free speech.

   no a trumptard which is a big difference.

   I don't give a shit what anyone says or does, as long it is done among consenting adults { no children or animals] and no one gets injured.

Oh, Funk. I’m so sorry that triggered you. Your nonstop Trump shitposts always drip with class. He sounded like he would’ve appreciate my post if he was still with us.

An ATG for sure in powerlifting- just didn't like his s
Shallow squatting style - I wouldn't of passed any in that video - parallel at best.

Still 5x world champion 👊🏻
