Personal Life
Curtis attended the University at Buffalo, where he was an amateur wrestler. He was the team captain during 1949 and 1950.
After retiring from professional wrestling, Curtis worked in real estate. On February 26, 2008, Curtis suffered a "massive stroke", with his wife Dotty releasing a statement noting that it was "due to a blood clot breaking loose and hitting the left side of his brain." Curtis was admitted into the Mayo Clinic Hospice facility that day, and died on March 6, 2008 at the age of 80. He started the Cornerstone Program at Texas A&M shortly afterwards.
