Another one of the best players not in the Hall of Fame. Fuzzy is one of VERY few to own six world titles as a player. Thoughts and prayers to your family, Fuzzy. Thanks for MANY great memories.
I have a autographed Fuzzys Bar t-shirt....?A prized Packer posseSimon. Pack People for sure.
I remember Fuzzy when he and some other player (was it Jerry Kramer?) had a show on Monday nights back in the 70's before MNF. I can't remember the name of it but Fuzzy was great on it.
RIP Fuzzy
R.I.P. Fuzzy. I met him 17 years ago at the bar he owned. Good guy.
RIP, Fuzzy. One of the best, and a class act.

Is Fuzzy's Bar and Grill still there?
Thanks for the great memories, Fuzzy. One of the most enduring images of Lombardi's Packers is the power sweep led by you and Jerry Kramer.
Rest in Peace.
Boris, Coach, Satori and I saw him at a bar after the game we all went too. I shook his hand and spoke briefly to him. Also have been fortunate enough to talk to Bob Skoronski and Jerry Kramer. Three of the best Packer OL.
RIP FUZZY!!!
Even the good ones have to go sometime.
Thanks for everything Fuzzy

I always wanted to go have an Old Fashioned with Fuzzy at his bar whenever I got around to going to Green Bay. I always have heard such great things about him and his bar over the years. RIP.

What was Fuzzy doing at a gay bar?
I was at a pre-game gathering at the Packer-Niner game in December 2010, and there were people there "in the know" that knew Fuzzy. The general thought was that he was at death's door then. He obviously was a pretty tough nut to hang on for another four years.
Never got to meet the man, and that's unfortunate (for me, not so much for him).
Wow...9 days after my dad, may they both rest in peace :'-(
RIP Fuzzy. More important than anything that happened today in my opinion.
Sorry to hear, Yooper.
Oh no no no...I meant he was born 9 days after my father, he's been gone for 33 years but thanks BK and sorry for the miscommunication. UGH!!!
Well, he did outlive the average of men in this country, and by all accounts had a pretty amazing life.
No worries Yooper.
My Dad is 82 and a huge Packer fan-----I cannot bring myself to talk to him about guys his age passing these days---it must be tough to look around and realize, "I could be next."
Be greatful you still have him Kiel and cherish him and your mother if she is still with us, be greatful you still have him at that age, sadly my father was only 47 when he passed away, he was a well respected cop in our community and even more respected as a human being.

Yea, 80 used to seem like VERY VERY old. However, now that I am 78 and 1/2 years old. it does not seem quite so old. But it is disturbing to see people dying at my young age. Not quite ready to go just yet but I am fighting cancer at this time so never know how long.
Sorry to hear tha Bob, keep fighting the good fight my man
What a time it was: Fuzzy Thurston with George Allen and Ray Nitschke at 1,000-Yard Club banquet in Menasha, 1966.
Keep up the good fight, Bob. Never give in and never lose hope.

Interesting fact: The Altoona High School football field is named after Fuzzy Thurston despite the fact that Fuzzy did not play organized football until his junior year in college at Valparaiso University, which Fuzzy attended on a basketball scholarship.
