Harry and Tojo

Harry Thornton got out of the wrestling game in the early 80's and did his last Morning Show in the summer of 1982.
But he didn't get much time to enjoy his retirement.
Harry died of a blood clot just a few months later.
Just last week, his widow died. Mrs. T made it to 92 years old.
The end came abruptly for Tojo, also.
He had to retire from wrestling in 1991 because of diabetes. And within a year, he had shot himself. He died at the age of 65.
Check out this Tojo tribute by a TV station in Memphis (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roKJdHF_aik).
The wrestling video comes from right here at TV 12... you can hear Harry's voice doing the announcing.
