A gentleman I used to work with is very good friends with Flutes from his hometown. I’ve had the pleasure of his company on several occasions. Such a blow to a very classy guy.
I lived in Natick for a couple of years back when he was playing. I had the chance to observe him dealing with fans. He was patient and nice.
He does a celebrity basketball game at the Hall of Fame every year to raise money for his child’s charity.
Many times you hear about hard times hitting a sports figure and it gets brushed off. Not this time. I really feel bad for him. His Dad was football in Natick for a number of years.
