Dick Beyer’s son Frank posted the following on his Facebook page:

“It is with a very heavy heart to let you know that Dad — aka The Destroyer, aka Doctor X, aka Dick Beyer, aka Coach — passed away shortly past Noon today. He was in bed at home, and was surrounded by all of his children and wife as he slipped peacefully away. I will have more to share later, but wanted you to hear this sad news from me first. Thoughts and prayers are most welcome at this time. Peace.”

Below are some photos I took of The Destroyer at the annual Cauliflower Alley Club Reunion in Las Vegas.
