He sat on two of our chairs and have two large Tony specials( homemade sausage,green peppers,Wisconsin whole milk organic cheese). We had pictures and autographs of him. My dad just loved him.

    Lamont: if you're still in Florida, you might want to do a story on Marc David Wasson- age 6 at death in 1977. He and his family went to the Miami Serpentarium for the day. His father sat him on the wall of the enclosure and the boy fell in. Crocodile immediately snagged him and carried him into the moat. Marc is buried in Lake Worth, Florida.

    My sister got married in Aiken, don’t ask me why because that is not where she was living at the time… and my ex-husband and I divorced when he was living in Macon Georgia, while I lived in Augusta Georgia! I was never a wrestling fan. However I heard some stories about happy Humphrey. It is amazing that the man could even walk because he was so huge and obese! The only reason he had that job of wrestling was because of the time he lived in in the mindset of the men back then. Bless him end it is amazing he lived to be 62 years old.
