Shocking. As a fellow Rutgers Alum and for all he has done for the local community here, it is a huge loss. Had the good fortune to meet and hang out with him
a bunch of times at tailgate parties. Played a round of golf with him once in a charity golf outing. Was a genuine nice guy, sort of guy you would most like to hang out with
and have a few beers.
He always played the hard guy in films and obviously the Sopranos, but really you couldn't have met someone who personified the meaning of "Everybody's Friend".
He will be truly missed amongst the Rutgers community. Big loss for us.
