F! Archive, 2011: Bob Staton, founder of the WFSA dies at age 68

While this article was originally posted 18th February 2011, this now marks fourteen years to the day since Bob Staton left us; without what Bob did alongside Lillis in the 90s and early 2000s, freestyle probably wouldn’t be here today.
