Sad news to hear, but to be honest, I thought he actually died a few years back so this is an improvement for me.

Over at the Fanfest forum, promoter Greg Price posted an address and asked folks to send cards offering support and encouragement:
Mr. John Sutton
c/o Hennepin County Medical Center
701 Park Avenue
Minneapolis, MN 55415
I've met Hump at the Fanfests, and he's a genuinely nice, fan friendly kind of guy who will make time to talk to you. I'll be sending a card along and hope that some of you will as well.

Thank for posting, Playboy. This is awful. I hope he does make a full recovery.

I think some of the news sites have picked this, but I'm hearing that doctors have told him that surgery is not an option because he's battling pneumonia and his lungs and heart are weak. Word is that he's decided not to undergo chemotherapy and has entered hospice care.
Not the news I'd hoped to hear. I'm not claiming he and I are friends, and he may not even remember meeting me. But as I'd mentioned, aside from being one of the legendary managers who I learned from, in meeting him I found that he's just an overall good guy.
Continue to hope and pray for the best for him, whatever that may be.

I saw that on Shane Helm's twitter. Considering the news that came out about him recently this was expected but sad none the less. He was a very entertaining manager throughout his career. RIP Sir Oliver Humperdink
