Tribute to those who were taken too early

[fraggle]

I was fortunate enough to watch almost all these wonderful men play. I wonder though with the virus and our isolation it is rather sad to contemplate these losses at this time.

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

Nope. Travesty...

Torrie Mitchell

What a tragedy Curry was. Murdered in a case of mistaken identity while sitting in his car.

Bryan, Sean, and Marlin were truly taken. Senseless crimes robbed them of bright futures.

You think about all the greats and really good players we loss and you have to wonder if God has a team in Heaven and drafts mostly Canes. It is the only way I can keep the tears in check. RIP brothers all.

You're correct. Shot by a kid over a parking spot. Absurd

The initial rumors were mistaken identity or even a hit. I didn't track the story to the trial wherein it was just a punk kid with no sense of right/wrong.

I'd also like to mention Eric Adams, a freshman who lived on my floor in Hecht. Eric and some guys from our floor were crossing US1 that fall in 1990; Eric was hit by a car and ultimately passed away. I'd gone home that weekend to visit my girlfriend and was horrified to come back that Sunday to find out that he had died.

Wasn’t Barnes and someone else taken on campus? I’m a bit foggy on that.

That's Mark Caesar. Oneal was already mentioned.

I recall seeing that big guy passed out with an IV on his arm. Had all sorts of problems.,
