John Grimek: 1910-1998 – Iron Game History – December, 1998

On November 20, 1998, at approximately 11 p.m., in York, Pennsylvania, John Grimek passed away. At that instant, a small part of me died along with him. I first became acquainted with John, albeit indirectly, when I was an 11-year-old boy, desperately seeking a way to build up my scrawny body.
