Julian2 Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 PRO-WRESTLING pioneer and legend Walter "Killer" Kowalski has died following a heart attack. He was 81. Kowalski died at Whidden Hospital in Everett, Massachusetts, on Saturday - 12 days after his family decided to take him off life support. He had been in critical condition since his heart attack on August 8, wife Theresa Kowalski said. An obituary posted at Weir Mac Cuish Family Funeral Home's Web site said Kowalski began his professional career in 1947. His 6-foot-7, 275-pound frame and a brutal wrestling style soon earned him the nickname "Killer." Another boyhood hero gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unit731 Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 "Whidden Hospital in Everett, Massachusetts" I used to date an RN who once worked at this hospital. Nice gal, but she kept talking about her boyfriend who was doing time at MCI Walpole! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
