When I read today's birthdays in this paper this morning, I was surprised to see that he was still with us (not that I had ever given it much thought, one way or the other.)
You may not know that his christened name was Lawrence Peter.
His education stopped after 8th grade.
He and wife Carmen were married from 1949 until her death of complications from a stroke in March 2014. That was 65 years of marriage. The couple had three sons.
When they moved from their home to assisted living their home was listed at $888,888 and quickly sold.
Too often we seem to forget that notable figures in the sports world also had a private life, too.
