    Sad News: Joe Rollino dies at 104 years old

    I was at lunch and picked up the NY Daily News and saw the puglilist known as Kid Dundee died via a car accident at age 104. He was hit by a mini van, sorry if posted already, i couldn't read threw the threads and just hoped people remember his career, which also incuded body building.

      Yes, it is very sad.

      I met him several times at the Ring 8 meetings in New York. He even was a guest speaker at one of the meetings and he showed that he still had a Great memory.

            It's just tragic. And then you have all these internet *******s making jokes about it. Nobody deserves to go out like this. RIP.

                    Bob Mladinich, who I know very well, as he was on the Board of Directors with me in Ring 8, wrote the article. Most of it was a reprint, BUT it was still a Great article.
