Anderson County, South Carolina sadly announced the following late last week:

With a sad heart, we inform you of the passing of former Anderson County Employee Tommy Seigler. Obituary: www.sullivanking.com/obituary/tommy-seigler

Mr. Seigler was a 1956 graduate of Iva High School, where he was a football, baseball, and basketball star athlete.

Tommy Seigler was an engineer by trade until 1972 when he began his professional wrestling career. Mr. Seigler wrestled over 2,000 matches in countries around the world. When he retired in 1978, he was the reigning NWA British Commonwealth Heavyweight. In 1993, Mr. Seigler worked in security for Anderson County, first as a part-time security officer and, immediately after the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001, has served faithfully as the head of security for the Anderson County Historic Courthouse, adding to his already considerable legacy as a community figure.

Tommy Seigler faithfully served Anderson County citizens for decades and will be greatly missed. As coworkers, we extend our condolences to his family and friends.
