Rest In Peace Ben Weider - Passes Away at age 85
It’s with great sadness I write Bodybuilding has lost one of the founding fathers of the sport. Ben Weider passed away yesterday in Montreal at the age of 85. I had the honor and privilege of meeting Mr. Weider backstage at the Olympia. He thanked me for my contributions to bodybuilding and my help in the industry. He was very much aware of things happening in the industry.
Mr. Weider was a proud supporter of bodybuilding.com and was very thankful and gracious towards the DeLuca family.
He’ll be laid to rest on Monday in Montreal.
