I don’t have any out-of-the-ordinary anecdotes about him but he was in integral part of Lombardi’s OLs. He wasn’t the most talented OL but this is from the jsonline story about him “Thurston, however, took exception to the notion that he was just a hustling overachiever. He made All-Pro twice and Dallas Cowboys Hall of Fame defensive tackle Bob Lilly ranked him among the toughest linemen he'd faced.” <a href="http://www.jsonline.com/sports/fuzzy-thurston-left-guard-for-60s-packers-dies-b99405283z1-285759381.html" target="_blank">http://www.jsonline.com/sports/fuzzy-thurston-left-guard-for-60s-packers-dies-b99405283z1-285759381.html</a>Even after suffering a financial calamity and poor health, he appreciated the good fortune he experienced in his life. He was another great ambassador from the Lombardi Packers. He almost made it to 81 years old and because of the onset of dementia - in my opinion – his death, like most of his life, was a blessing.RIP 63, you helped to provide a generation of Packers fans with memories that will last our lifetimes.</blockquote>
