WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg and his family have been dealing with a personal loss lately. His wife recently shared some heartbreaking news on social media.
Da Man is gearing up for the final match of his in-ring career as he challenges Gunther for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Saturday Night's Main Event on July 12. Just days before his last hurrah, his father-in-law sadly passed away at age 88.
Goldberg's wife, Wanda, shared personal family photos on her Instagram account and wrote an emotional note in memory of her late father.
"Yesterday the world lost an amazing man, our Dad. He lived a long wonderful life of 88 years and I feel so blessed that we had him as long as we did. He was such a fun, witty, caring, adventurous, sweet man and just had a magic quality about him that everyone gravitated toward. Mom and Dad would have celebrated their 61st wedding anniversary on July 14th. I love you Dad and I want to thank you for being the best Dad a family could ever ask for. I didn’t need to watch movies about super heroes, I was raised by one. I love you Dad ❤
