Topic: David Moyer has passed away

[Ronald Mann]

I've just read on another website that David P. Moyer has passed away.Born on 29th April 1934,Dave was one of those rare individuals to excel in both sports - he won USA Senior National weightlifting titles in 1963 and 1971,and was also a Senior National victor in powerlifting on three occasions in 1965,1969,and 1970. According to Herb Glossbrener,Dave is the only man ever to have set open World records in both disciplines - twice on the 56kg clean & press,in 1956 and again in 1958;and also the 56kg squat record in 1971. To the best of my knowledge,at a mere 4'6" in height Dave must also have been the shortest American ever to hold a World record in weightlifting.  

Yet another of the true greats of the American Iron Game has passed on to that "Hall of Fame" up above - he will be sadly missed

Regards and best wishes
