From Gus Rethwisch, WABDL President: Jon Cole died of lung failure in January at age 71. Without Jon Cole from Arizona, George Frenn from Los Angeles, John Kuc and Jim Williams from Pennsylvania, there would be no powerlifting. Cole made the 1968 Olympic team as a discus thrower. 
Reply With QuoteTweetMan it seems all the lifters I looked up to as I got involved in the sport are dead or dying. Jon Cole was one of the strongest men in the world back then. Jon you will be missed.
