Rest in Peace Red (1917 -2006)
It's strange. Red has been sick but I literally gasped when I heard the news. One of those days that you knew was coming but couldn't believe when it finally arrived. Not only a basketball legend but a man who made his mark on the city of Boston, an impressive feat given the long history of Beantown.
ESPN.com has a great video piece about Red and Boston.com has a bulletin board with people posting stories about Red.
