Dick Hoyt, the man who famously pushed his son Rick in a custom racing wheelchair through 32 Boston Marathons and more than 1,000 total races, died Wednesday morning. He was 80.
Hoyt died peacefully in his sleep in Massachusetts, one of his three sons, Russ Hoyt, told the Associated Press. He had an ongoing heart condition that "just got the better of him," Russ said. He and brother, Rob, told the news to Rick.

They did Ironman Triathlons as well. He pulled his son in a boat while swimming two miles. I hope he went to the head of the line at the Pearly Gates. RIP.
