[EverettMike]

Very sad. Sorry for those of you who knew him.

 

[Nothingbutglass]

Awful news.

 

[Chief Nine]

Sad news. He was with the Globe forever. Way too young

 

[LSCII]

RIP Nick Cafardo. Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends in this difficult time.

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

Devestating loss not only here but nationally as well

Mazz is near tears on air

 

[TP]

Just heard. Unreal shit

 

[Fenway]

I am in complete shock - known him for over 30 years

I dropped my phone in disbelief

I could hear it in his voice while driving home and listening. So sad.

 

[JRull86]

Wow that's awful.

Great writer. Great guy.

RIP to Nick, way too young.

THERE IS VIRTUALLY NOTHING than can reverse a Pulmonary Embolism once it strikes even if they are complaining of it, and that's probably why the medical staff at Fenway South tried everything humanely possible....

Fond memories of getting the globe sports page as a kid and reading Carfardo. He wrote a great piece on Pearce yesterday. Such a damn shame. RIP

So sorry.

Sad news indeed.

One afternoon in Winter Haven back in 1991 we went to see The Doors movie and we have been friends since.

We were the only 2 people in the theater

Awful news...

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

thanks Ali for breaking this devestating piece of information to the rest of New England, as hard as it is right now to comprehend

 

[CDJ]

His Sunday notes were the first thing I’d read. He showed up to the ballpark on his off day. Tells you a lot about how passionate he was about baseball and the Red Sox.

Lost my best friend of almost 30 years in 2011.

Still, not a day goes by where I don’t think of him.

My deepest condolences.

Every single Sunday it was Cafardo, Dupont and Jackie Mac. My dad would get ticked because I would never re-fold the paper right after reading it.

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

Wow what the hell.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Wow. Rest in peace.

 

[Gee Wally]

Horrible news.

 

[Dr Hook]

How very sad. In that picture of him in the tweet looks like a nice person- sometimes you can just tell.
