Lonnie "Bulldog" Rutherford

[Guest]

Does anyone have a record for Lonnie "Bulldog" Rutherford? He fought in the Va.,W.Va. area in the 40s, through the 50s I believe. He was supposedly a good fighter. Thanks.

Don't see any mention of him in the record books. Check newspaper microfilm of that area.

I grew with him. He was friends with my parents and because both of them worked Bulldog ( as we called him ) was our bodyguard and walked us to school everyday. Not that we lived in a bad area but why not. He had the tip of one of his pinky fingers missing. I can't remember which one but he would put his pinky up to his nose to make it look as if he had stuffed his whole pinky up there. He was able to throw my sister and I up in the air and catch us. We was small maybe five or so but no one else could. The last time I seen Bulldog was maybe ten or twenty years ago. He lived in the same neighborhood in Cleveland Ohio somewhere around W38th and Lorian Ave. I'm sure he's passed now but damn what memories I have of him. I remember him saying something about being from West Virginia maybe Wheeling??? Not sure. I do have picture of him from growing up. Awsome guy to bad he's not here. If you have any further questions you can find me on facebook Renae Bragg or [email protected]
