I am very saddened at the loss of my friend Chris due to cancer…..

With a very heavy heart it saddens me to tell you that a very dear friend of mine has passed away.

Chris Tolos of the famous Tolos Brothers (also known as the Hamilton Wrecking Crew and The Canadian Wrecking Crew) has passed away at 75 from cancer. 

John Tolos was with his brother and sister at the time of Chris's death.  Their mother had passed away when she was 101.

We here at WrestlingFigs.com send our deepest condolences and sympathy to the Tolos family.

(John, my love, thoughts and prayers are with you during this time)

How vividly I remember being at the old Sunnyside Gardens in Queens, NY watching the Tolos Brothers being the best villians they knew how to be. 

 I used to get the fans mad at me, because I had signs for the Tolos Brothers, saying they were the Greatest.  As a teenager I loved the villians.
