I’d like to believe that Dave is reunited in heaven with his family and friends like Freddie Blassie and the Iron Sheik. He will be missed by all of us at the International Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame, where Dave often was a volunteer tour guide. Our prayers go out to Dave’s family during this difficult time. May Dave Dwinell rest peacefully.”
