    Yes
    Still together after 62 years
    I still have regular contact with him on Facebook.
    If he didn’t live so far I’d probably be visiting him often.

    Recent funny story about coach.
    One of the guys I wrestled with is very close to him as well.
    Story goes, a year ago, not sure exactly what transpired but the guy I wrestled with and coach Tgiros were at a meet. Someone evidently went after my friend and 86 year old coach Tgiros jumped out of the bleachers and took care of him!
