Default Dan Pires 1956 - 2008

I don't know if anyone heard, but one of the better beat writers has passed away. He was also a member here at the forum, so we also lost one of our own:

Here was his member page:

http://www.patsfans.com/new-england-...ber.php?u=9258

Our thoughts go out to his friends and family, as he will be missed.

Ian

Holy cow. I used to e-mail with him a little bit. What a good guy and, once again, someone goes too soon. Damn.

RIP, DP.

This is really bad news. He was a good reporter and a good guy. He was friendly with with many Patriots fans.

RIP Dan!

I'm in shock, total shock. Dan was one of the first guys I met when learning at the score in 2005. We were both southcoast guys and loved to talk about the new bedford area. As I moved up at the score before the March 10th demise I covered games, did the murphys report and became friends out of the media with him. I needed a job after the score went off the air and took one at a Shaws that he went to at least 3 times a week. We'd talk sports and life all the time, the guy became a close friend. I saw him saturday at the store, he came in and we talked some baseball. Can't believe this, I've talked to a few other media guys who are shocked too.
