I just learnd of his death last month via a Facebook posting from Christopher Riordan.
I was probably only abt 12 or so when I discoverd physique magazines at a corner cigar store on Broad St. I subscribd to a couple -- including Body Beautiful. they came in plain brown wrappers. I believe it was here that I first saw Hover. he often posed in tandem with his buddy Richard Harrison. I was smitten.
both men soon began appearing in small parts in films. Hover was under contract to Warner Brothers. he was in "Toward the Unknown" & "Lafayette Escadrille." later he became a top model. his acting career ended in soap operas.
for years I searchd online for those famous physique shots of Hover & Harrison together. in my memory they are forever linkd. some have finally begun to appear on various sites. seeing them takes me back to my boyhood & a time of stirrings. I will always be thankful to both of these men.

I remember him as Russ Matthews on "Another World", and many television commercials. One in particular was as a construction worker, for a product for muscle aches, w/a huge jack hammer, and was surprised that this "soap actor" was so muscular.
