Barry and his brother Donnie were at home with their mother when on August 26, 1959, she took her own life with a .38 caliber pistol on the back porch. On November 16, 1972, after Barry and his brother had each commenced their professional careers, their father was murdered by a jealous lover.[6]

I once spoke to Don James, who secretly confided in me that 91 Dwag would likely have lost to 91 Cane. It was a homer take. He left his heart in Coral Gables and never got it back.
True story.

Kind of wish one of my dads committed suicide so I could have done something with my life
 
that is indeed pretty fucking tragic. Having your mom take herself out is about as bad as it gets.
