Mead, a big fellow weighing about 245 and nearly six feet in height, had been in poor health since suffering a heart attack about 18 months ago. A good spender, Mead made several fortunes in the boxing game but most of it was gone when he died. He was easy to “touch” and he loved the ponies. When Joe Lynch lost his bantamweight title Mead was reputed to have had $176,000. Six years later he had to pawn his watch to get transportation to Cleveland, where he promoted fights. Later he borrowed $10,000 from Al Jolson and George Raft and bought Armstrong's contract. He paid this all back and traveled “in the gravy” during Armstrong's heyday. He is survived by his wife, the ‘former Gloria Youngblood, Broadway singer, from whom he was,
