Mr. Torio was a first class human being ... R.I.P. RE: Dick Torio Dies - eastisbest - 12-09-2014 04:42 PM Condolences to the family. Toledo icon! RE: Dick Torio Dies - indianasniff - 12-09-2014 05:29 PM Had the priveledge to get to know his daughter and son at UT. Great people. Condolences indeed RE: Dick Torio Dies - MotoRocket - 12-09-2014 08:15 PM Interesting that John R. Bloch left a comment below the article from his own newspaper. Just couldn't resist calling attention to himself is my take on his need to comment. RE: Dick Torio Dies - RangerRocket - 12-10-2014 07:45 AM Email I received from one of my fellow UT Army ROTC buddies (Gary Barber) who wrestled for UT, and then the Army. He's retired from the Army and works for the FAA in the Dallas/Ft Worth area: Quote:Thanks so much for sharing this with me. I didn't know Mr. Torio had passed away. Yes, I knew him well and trained at his gym and wrestled some of the best in the world there....to include Greg Wojeichowski who is shown in the article's picture. Mr Torio was able to see me become an All-American too back in the 80s. I was wrestling in the nationals one time and just happened to see him out the corner of my eye in the stands and talked with him after the tournament....he was very proud.
