Charles was a dear friend. Not sure how many here would remember Charles but some might. We were at Jerimy's funeral and we lost Charles after the service.
He will be missed by many.
Charles Buffong, a native of the Caribbean island of Antigua, passed away suddenly in Calgary, Alberta on November 27, 2008. He had apparently attended the funeral of his son earlier in the day, and fell victim to massive heart failure.
The well-built Antiguan began his career in Georgia Championship Wrestling in 1980, and shortly thereafter moved on to Calgary. He wrestled periodically for Stampede Wrestling from late 1980 until the end of 1983, teaming on occasion with both Gerry Morrow and Rudy Kay. During that span, he also appeared on Canada's west coast.
In what must have been his all-time career highlight, Charles received a thunderous welcome home when Stampede Wrestling toured Antigua twice in 1982, with reportedly some 5,000 fans massing at the airport for their initial arrival.
The Cauliflower Alley Club sends its condolences to the family and friends of Charles Buffong.
