Former 2x Heavyweight Champion at Rubber City Wrestling Ric Lieb took to his official Facebook handle and wrote that he will be remembered as a Steelers great and humanitarian.
Saddened to hear about the passing of my friend Ray Seals. Ray, a former DL for the Pittsburgh Steelers, was one of the kindest human beings you could ever meet. Always thinking of others, Ray ran many charities raising money and more for the Homeless, Sick Children, and more. Ray always showed me love, from one professional athlete to another. For that, I feel as though I lost not only a dear friend, but one of the boys (wrestling term). Thank you Ray for always being real, showing love and earning love right back. You were and will always be remembered not only as a Steelers great, but as a great humanitarian. Rest In Heaven Ray Seals, God just recruited another angel.
