Cliff Christl started gathering oral histories with former Packers and others associated with the team in 2000 and will continue to gather them as Packers historian. Excerpts from those interviews will be periodically posted at www.packers.com Ruth and Tony Canadeo were married for 60 years prior to Tony’s death in 2003. A native of Green Bay, Ruth was 22 years old when she met Tony, a star halfback for the Packers from 1941-44 and again from 1946-52. Tony would have his No. 3 retired following his career and be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1974.
Life was different during Tony Canadeo's day
