Your "list" of dead wrestlers is not completely accurate- my father, Larry Grattenthaler AKA "Kurt von Stroheim" is very much alive and living here in Indiana. My father is listed correctly in the crow bar press books, and those are HIS photos, not the man you have listed as "Kurt von Stroheim". Please correct this on your list- thank you.

Thank you, the date has been corrected.
