To the readers of this blog website. I feel the following information serves best as a precursor intrinsic introduction to this blog web site.
Worded as follows…
I wonder if you’ll find this story funny?
I sent this letter to a newspaper writer and tv reporter for a local news station recently.
It’s kind of interesting guys.
The gentleman’s name was Mr Maloney.
I was gonna just by pass sending this information to anyone else.
But you know what?
I just think the story’s too weird to not send to anyone else.
And I’m quessing?
If you read it?
You’ll agree.
I’d read it if you like interesting stuff.
But it’s up to you.
Read it if you want.
It’s worded as follows.
This is the information I sent to Mr Maloney.
.
Hi Mr Maloney?
Listen.
In regards to our conversation we engaged inon the phone?
I felt it neccacary to say this to you about the conversation I had with you on the phone the other day.
Which is simply this.
Dear sir.
I sensed Mr Maloney, that you are perhaps skeptical that the story i told you is true?
That is just a quess?
You know?
From your reaction.
To the story I told you .
When I spoke to you in a conversation I engaged with you on the phone?
The other day…
So? I’m quessing on that note , Perhaps i didnt relate the story well enough to you? Or properly enough to you ?
On the phone?
The other day?
Perhaps?
Hmmnn?
Okay?
Either way?
I believe this is a fairly interesting true factual
Story in London Ontarios history.
Regardless.
Actually.
And I’m quessing a lot of people would like to hear it or see it in Londons archives.
As well.
Too.
That’s just a quess.
Sir.
But I think I’m right in saying that is an accurate statement.
Actually?
When it’s summarized properly?
I’m pretty sure logic decrees that
You’d have to be a plum local lunatic actually in all reality not to admit that statement to be correct.
I’m quessing anyways.
And in evaluating facts accompanied with logic properly so let me say
I’m pretty certain I’m not incorrect to say this story I told you the other day?
once again it’s a factual story thats clearly something readers of the londonfree press would be very interested in hearing.
Actually.
I’m quessing anyone in their right mind would agree with that statement.
Irrefutably.
Thats obvious.
And of course anyone in their right mind would admit that.
To not admit that? I’d literally quess one would have to be in a weird twilight zone.
So you know what? On that note? Just for the appropriate sake of record, I’ll only do this once.
I’ll write the following factual
information down.
For those who may be curious.
I’m only gonna do it once.
I’m not writing this again.
Once is enough.
Why?
You ask?
Why???
Because
I don’t have time to do this more than once.
Yet out of respect for my dad and for Cliff , and the two lives they both lived responsibly and respectfully , I personally feel it’s right of me to write this.
For you and for the London free press.
Just once.
๐๐๐๐๐๐คช๐ซจ๐ฆ๐ง๐ฎ๐๐ฅฐ
So I’ll try to explain it.
In words.
Interesting fun facts.
Looking back.
It was weird.
Looking back.
It was weird.
In fun?
In a bar?
Was this
Rocky’ Marcianos only loss.?
Rocky’ Marcianos only loss.?
lol.
In fun?
In fun?
To those who read this ?
Allow me to begin this short story by saying this.
It’s
Pretty weird.
Pretty weird.
What I’m about to say.
In my opinion.
But as far as I know it’s true.
So because it’s true?
Factually?
And I checked the facts.
This story is true.
Weird.
But true.
You know?
My dad liked to hide things.
From people.
He was personal that way.
Whether that honors what Jesus Christ states to humsnity in Luke 12:1-3 is something my dad will have to addrsss with Jesus.
Shall I say.
At some point in this life.
Regarding this story?
Though?
Let’s just say my dad was secretive.
In this life.
Meaning?
My dad hid things from people๐ค..
Including me.
In this life.
And on that note?
I’m pretty certain I have concrete evidence that says specifically that through a gentleman named Cliff McWhirter?
A legendary Canadian boxer who was never knocked out in 159 professional bouts?
A man my dad worked with at the London Ontario Canadas London Life Insurance company from 1955 to 1965 a d?
Good ol dad met Mr
Through
That man.
Now?
The reason why I say that my dad was secretive about things?
It’s that good old dad
. hid that from me for nearly 50 years.
Now, my question to that is this.
Why would he hide that from me.
He knew I was a boxing fan.
So why would he never mention it for fifty years?
He knew I was a boxing fan.
So why would he never mention it for fifty years?
Now,dont get me wrong.
Dad told me clips of the story.
I’m referring to here.
In mostly states of a slightly drunken nature.
Which is when dad was most likely to open up about things.
But just for the record?
he never directly at one time ever specifically related to me the full story of him meeting Rocky Marciano and Primo Carnera on a summer day in July of 1956.
Aw yes.
He never told me the full story.
at one time.
Just clips of that day in 1956.
at one time.
Just clips of that day in 1956.
At times.
Including the topic of him Rocky primo
and Cliff all ending up
Drinking at the Richmond hotel in London that fine day .
The clips of the story dad told me?
Thry were just clips.
Which basically forced me to piece the story together.
Actually.
Dad was elusive and secretly.
, to the point where I even had to get him to clarify that it was Rocky he was drinking with at the Richmond hotel.
Once.
When he insummary basically mentioned thet to me once too regarding this story.
In London actually.
Yet, I suppose it wasn’t just my dad who was evasive regarding this story.
Yet, I suppose it wasn’t just my dad who was evasive regarding this story.
Why do I say that specifically?
Because my dad’s friend Cliff McWhirter knew about the story.
Yet Cliff only told a Mr Patrick Maloney that Rocky visited him at the London life insurance company in 1956.
And Cliff didn’t even mention to Patrick that primo carnera was with him on that visit in 1956.
So wouldnt that indicate that Mr McWhirter was also imitating my dad on such a subject?
By being evasive about the full truth of Rocky’s visit to see Cliff in 1956 too๐ค?
And as far as I know their are no factual statements in history to clarify that Carnera or Marciano confirmed that thry under took this visit to London to visit Cliff at all.
Only Cliff McWhirter confirmed that to be a factual event , when he spoke to Patrick Maloney on his life story for the London free press.
Why didn’t Cliff mention to Patrick that primo was there with THE ROCK?
On that visit.
Like my dad told me primo was?
See?
So that means my dad wasnt the only one being evasive about this visit being a factual event in humsn history.
Cliff primo and Rocky also were in on the secrecy of such a tabloid event.
Obviously.
Shall I say?
Aw yes.
Aw yes.
Rocky Cliff and primo were also clearly secretive about such an event.
But I’m quessing not to the degree thet my dad’s friend Cliff could be secretive of events.
Aw yes.
My dad.
He was secretive alright.
And what’s more
He was very evasive about telling full stories at one time.
He was very evasive about telling full stories at one time.
He would tell people clips and pieces of factual stories .
Especially
While he drank alcohol.
While he drank alcohol.
But he’d never tell the full story at one time.
So I had to piece the truth of various truthful events he would talk to me about over the years.
Shall I say.
Which obviously includes me piecing together the fscts of this story.
Obviously .
Aw yes.
This
Story I’m telling here.
Meaning?
Meaning?
If it wasn’t for the fact that I didn’t take the time to read Mr Patrick malineys article on mr Cliff McWhirter?
Whom my dad called his friend for years?
There’s a possiblity that deep in my heart I might have forever debated whether dad was telling the truth about meeting Rocky and primo.
But it was Mr Maloney confirming in his article that Rocky visited Cliff McWhirter in London in 1956, that basically reassured me that my dad wasnt telling the truth on such a subject.
I should have realized he was telling the truth though.
Why?
Because my dad babbledon about it in one facet or another occasionally while drinking alcohol and thenmentioning this subject for years.
Incidentally
Dad told me that his friend Cliff had mentioned to him a few times that cliffs nick name in pro boxing was
“””CLIFF THE KILLER.””
Interesting.
Yet anyways
That’s just strange how dad was๐.
That way.
And how my dad mentioned on such a subject too that in a drunken state that day?
That’s just strange how dad was๐.
That way.
And how my dad mentioned on such a subject too that in a drunken state that day?
At the Richmond hotel in London?
Dad fought Rocky Marciano in a drunken state at the Richmond hotel after hooting and hollering and partying with Rocky all night one fine summer July night in the year 1956.
Dad fought Rocky Marciano in a drunken state at the Richmond hotel after hooting and hollering and partying with Rocky all night one fine summer July night in the year 1956.
See?
I wouldn’t have known it was 1956.
Because my dad told me he couldn’t remember the exact year the visit happened.
But my dad thought it was 1958 , or 1959.
Yet Cliff McWhirter told Patrick Maloney Rocky and Primo visited him in London in 1956.
Cliff doesn’t mention what time of the year Rocky visited though.
Yet my dad clarified that by telling me he was quite sure it was in July .
So without dad?
We wouldn’t know the month properly.
Yet without Cliff and Patrick we wouldn’t know the year the visit occurred correctly.
See how connecting dots helps clarify fscts properly therefore?.
But anyways,, just for the record, mostly nobody at all knows that it happened.
This visit Rocky Marciano made to London in 1956.
Because my dad’s basically secretive and evasive as is Rocky primo and Cliff McWhirter..
Piecing together interest historical facts can be fun on that note๐ค.
If one does it correctly.
With patience.
And the Lord Jesus Christ warns all humans to do just that too in Luke 12:1-3 of Christianitys sacred divine wonderous scriptures!
So?
As much as I love my good old dad.
And primo and Ricky and Cliff McWhirter too?
I must now say this.
Luke 12:-1-3 says people are to keep no secrets on esrth.
Luke 12:1-3 says that clearly.
That too is why I have taken the time to relate the preceding obvious factual
Events which took place in London Ontario Canada in the month of July in the year 1956.
To clarify such a truth properly in this life too Like Jesus warns all humsns to do in Luke 12:1-3.
Pure and simple.
Excellent!
Okay.
Sooo?
Now that “‘ that specifically has been stated in writing?”’
Let’s conclude this breakdown of the fscts of Rocky Marciano and Primo Carnera visiting London Ontario Canada to visit my dad and Cliff THE KILLER McWhirter in 1956 with this information addressed below on that note.
Worded as follows.
๐คก✨๐ซจ๐ฅ๐![]()
I’m not even sure what he was saying exactly.
I’m pretty sure it was the Richmond hotel.
Pretty sure…
But I’m not positive of that…
That’s how much dad was all over the place rambling about it.
“”””””“‘ o sure dad.๐คญ
You met Rocky Marciano.๐ฑ
The only official undefeated heavy weight champion in the history of professional boxing .
Right.๐คฉ
Right here in London you say?””””Woe my yes.”””””
What
fun this was in writing this.
You ……know …..pat?
Looking back on my dad rambling on to me at times over the years about his time drinking with Rocky and primo in the Richmond hotel in London in 1960?
Or … pardon me… the official records state that Rocky visited Cliff in July of 1956.
Dad said July .
I think.
and the link here says Rocky visited Cliff in 1956.
So?
Looking back ?
Ondad rambling about that?
Just rambling?
While he was drinking?
With me?

You know…?

Sometimes I wonder if I didn’t hallucinate my dad rambling like thet?
You know?
Hey.
I’m just saying.
Listen.
What was dad even talking about?
What was dad even talking about?
On occasion.
At times in which I drank alcohol with him.
Exactly?
I wish you had been there.
To hear him ramble about it with me.
Exactly?

Pat.
Why๐๐๐คช?๐ฆ
Because… you know what?
Because… you know what?
In summary I have a pretty good handle on what dad was saying there . Sure.
But over all?
Am I even sure I didn’t hallucinate dad rambling like that?
If he did ramble like that?
I’m not even sure what he was saying exactly.
But come on?
Who would lie like that?
While their drinking periodically?
For years?
And say the same thing over and over without wavering?
Or changing their story?
Come on?
That means he was clearly telling the truth.
His story never wavered.
Whenever he ๐งtold it.
It was always the same thing.๐ฎ
When he rambled about it .
Whatever๐ฎ
You know what?
Despite that?
The only thing I’m positive of is this.
He definitely met Rocky and primo through his London life insurance boss
Cliff Mcwhirter .
And then drank alcohol somewhere with them thet night.

But I’m not positive of that…
That’s how much dad was all over the place rambling about it.
It was the same story.
Generally speaking.
But he mentioned different hotels .
To drink in London …
At times.
While telling it.
Interesting.
Eh?
Hmmnn?
You know?
He rambled on about ๐คชit in such an almost ๐unbelievable way that , it definitely crossed my mind a few times that dad was perhaps in the early stages of being senile.๐
Thats what I thought.๐คก
I’m not kidding.๐ซจ

Yes.
Really?๐คจ
Dad?๐
And then after meeting with him and with primo too, no less , you went hog wild drinking with him that day? ๐คฃ
And in the course of your drinking binge with the legendary Rocky Marciano as well as with primo carnera, who you say yiu were in awe of, because of the size of his hands, ,,,,

Off the Richmond tavern juke box that day in 1956.””””
To continue their wild partying drinking binge๐ฆ
At that hotel.
To continue their wild drinking binge๐ฆ
Exactly.๐
Exactly…๐ฅณ๐คฉ๐ฑ
The link on the computer says Marciano visited Cliff in 1956.
It doesn’t say when in 1956.
Though.
And dad said he met Rocky through CLIFF IN mid summer . July dad figured.
When I asked dad.
See how I have to connect the truth , piece by piece?
Why was Rocky’s visit to London so secret?
. .they really wanted to avoid the media.
Didnt they?
Wow.
Exactly.๐
Okay so? dad.
You know what๐ฒ๐๐?
I believe you.
Cool.
Very cool indeed.
Like the weather we’re having right now.
In London Ontario Canada.
Pure and simple…
My dad talked too sincerely about it.
And joyously.
At the times inhis life
When he was drunk.
With me.
But apparently he only discussed it with me ☄️
As far as I know.
Pat.
Therefore I’ve no doubt he met Rocky.
When I summarize the facts now.
And primo carnera was clearly there…
Too.
The problem though is this?
How can there be no record of it?
Didnt my dad or Cliff have a camera?
I …suppose.,. it’s….. a bit crazy… to carry a camera everywhere in 1956.
Probably?
I quess?
Yet how can there be no official
record of it at all?
No one officially claims to have seen them in London at the time.
No one?
Rocky and primo are big names.
Man.
That’s just amazing that no one knows they were in London in a bunch of places.
Were they wearing disguises?
Did their car hsve tint windows⚡️✨๐?
You know what I’m saying?
Like
wtf?
Now, for the first time in my life , I would like to talk to my dad about it.
But I can’t.
Cause hes dead.
Never realize what an opportunity is to ask a question til the opportunity is gone.
Hmmnnn?
Great.
O well
I should have asked dad about the exact events of that day.
In detail.![]()
Where they went.
What they ate.
Where they had dinner.![]()
Everything.
Looking back on it?
Now?
Jim linker.
