You old-timers like me likely remember his game very well - had that little hesitation hitch at the top of his jumper. Not flashy and didn't have deep range but more than solid game. Passed away yesterday.

He lived in Rochester, where I grew up, for a time after his retirement - think he was an agent of some sort. He played in an adult rec league with some of my buddies in the same tiny gyms for the 5th/6th grade Biddy Basketball league we all played in.
