Steve Barker has written; "It is with great sadness that I have to report that my lifelong wrestling travelling companion Bob Bartholomew has passed away at 11pm last night aged 72, after a short illness."
He didn't seem to appear that much. I only saw him live twice, once on a Wryton show at The Assembly Rooms, Alderley Edge, against Bobby Ryan and once on a Max Crabtree show at the Gaiety Theatre, Rhyl, against Vic Faulkner. I recall him partnering Bobby Ryan on a Wryton TV show against Tony and Ignatious Borg.
RIP Bob.
It is a good tribute Ron, written by his friend Steve Barker. Bob did a bit of wrestling and is in the A-Z, using the name Pablo the Gypsy.
A great obituary and a really sad event. RIP Bob.
