He had a similar condition to Roger Ebert. You see that pic of him from 2007? Unrecognizable. To quote Bill The Butcher, "it's a touch indelicate, maybe, but fair" to say he was probably fortunate enough to have that final decade. Bobby passes through whole. Even the quotes of wrasslers about him are mostly newer guys. There's damn near no one left from the 80s.

The best WWF manager ever, certainly on the heel side. He was brilliant at what he did. RIP.
