Grizzly Smith

From a report on Gerweck it sounds like Grizzly Smith has passed. He was legendary in his own right besides being the father of 3 successful wrestling stars.

Saw this on another site:
"Jake "The Snake" Roberts longtime friend Chris Yandek has released a statement on the passing of Jake's father at http://www.cyinterview.com
 
Statement below:
 
I am deeply saddened to report that legendary, professional wrestler Grizzly Smith, the father of Jake "The Snake" Roberts has passed away today. There are no further details at this time. I have known Jake Roberts for eight years. I know this is a difficult time for him and his family. I extend my deepest condolences to them. "

Saw the news on 411, and was dismayed at the negativity.  I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, and I've never been one of those who think we should pretend someone is a saint just because he died, but I also believe in showing some respect for the good things, as well as for the remaining family.
 
Seems like every day, people remind me of why I have nothing to do with most of them.
 
Rest in peace, Grizzly Smith.
