If memory serves me correctly, Tony Boy Boiardo died before his dad did. If not before, then he died shortly thereafter. I know for certainly that he didn't live nearly as long as the old man did. I believe he was only in his 60s when he passed.


Yes,Tony Boy died at 62 y in 1978 while his father died in 1984.
Very sad to survive to his own son.


Thanks Furio. Yes, that is a curse that breaks a parents heart. Nobody wants to outlive your kids. Even a merciless killer like a Richie Boiardo
