[Canes Legacy]

Posted in the countdown thread but @JD08 suggested to have its own thread, and I couldn’t agree more.

I'll add in Nick Spinelli. A player from the 60's who passed in a car accident earlier this year. His son, @spinelli20 is a poster on this site.

Old time canes from the 60's era

My father nick spinelli was killed in a car wreck in Boca last week. You can google him, but he was a 4 way player as a receiver, DB, KR and PR for the canes during the Mira era.

I’m not sure if any other big time program have lost greats - key contributors so early in life like we have.

Part of the mystique? You know what it is. Our boys would be all out and fearless on the field . Probably lived life the same way....

Let's not forget Robert Woodus on Valujet 592. It breaks my heart to think how those poor people died.

Cortez Kennedy, one of our greatest D lineman and an NFL HOF lost way too early

I don’t know what is sadder, the DUI/driving deaths, or the murders.
Its seems impossible to think that Taylor, Barnes and Pata were all murdered in or near their own homes. Not guys out late doing crazy things. All just living life.
All young deaths are tragic regardless of how.

I made the mistake of watching a very detailed documentary/reenactment of that tragedy. I think it was like around 4 mins from the point that the passengers started screaming about smoke in the cabin until the actual crash. Probably seemed like 4 hrs.

Bump for our fallen Canes!!!

Seem to recall Stanley Shakespeare drowning while fishing. Also, was the Pata murder ever solved?
