1 of Bucks' original owners, dies

MILWAUKEE (AP) - Marvin Fishman, one of the original owners of the Milwaukee Bucks, has died at the age of 84.

Rabbi David Cohen says Fishman died at a hospital Friday night. Cohen declined to reveal the cause of death.

Fishman helped raise money to bring the Bucks to Wisconsin in 1968, where they won an NBA title three years later.

The team released a statement Saturday expressing its sympathies to Fishman's wife and three children.

Fishman served in the U.S. Army Air Corps during World War II. Afterward he earned a marketing degree and MBA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

In 1952 he started a real estate company and later branched out into developing subdivisions.

Funeral services are scheduled for 11 a.m. Monday at Congregation Sinai in Fox Point.
