I may be rather late with this, meaning that someone may have posted something similar already.
You will know that the gentleman concerned (actually Dave Magee) was mainly what might be called a "heel manager", with in ring experience.
You are likely to know that he moved in to clowning, mainly as an advance publicity clown for one particular circus. It is far more through clowning that I met him.
News has only just reached us within the British clowning community that Dave passed away a while back, which grieves those of us who knew him. Unfortunately we don't know the cause, nor exactly when he left us, nor how old he was at the time.
If anybody does have relevant details, I, for one, would like to know.
Thanks.
Hope they didn't (s)cream at each other graham
