He was young.
My Dad passed in 2003 (he was 84) and had Alzheimer's . I had my season tickets while he was still alive but he was too far gone to go with me. He used to have ST to the Boston Braves (who were like the Providence Bruins) who played at the old Garden. The seats were next to the P. box so we often saw Terry O'Reilly who came up through the minor team. I still feel Dad there at some games now.
My Mom passed in 2008. She used to go to a game or two with me every season and loved it. When I first had my ST the B's would have an outdoor barbeque on the Garden parking lot. It was usually before a pre season game. I took Mom to one . She walked with a cane so I had her sit and went off to find her a water. Her favorite player was Cam Neely (he had been good to my Dad when he had to have knee surgery) He wasn't playing anymore and wasn't yet part of the management but he was there. A girl from the B's was taking photos of him with people. I walked up and told him I had my Mom and he was her favorite....The photo girl said "you will have to bring her here as we a taking photos"...I said thanks anyway but it was too far. Cam asked where she was and I said way over the other side sitting at a table. He said let's go an asked me her name. Her back was to us as we got to the table so I said "Mom I have someone for you to meet"...Cam bent down and took her had and spoke to her...I wished I had a camera. After Mom said " I will never wash my hand again"...It was sweet of Cam but he is a sweet person.
She knew every player and loved the B's. Muzz was also a favorite. He signed a photo for her. I still have it.
