I’ll defer to the slightly older members about this since I was too young to actually see him play, but I think a case can be made that Gino was the best Patriot performer from 1960 until Hannah came to the team, and was great to listen to on the radio for the next 50 years. A wonderful life, RIP Duke.

RIP, Gino. You are sorely missed.

RIP Duke! We shall not see his like again.
From the Babe Parilli to Gino Cappelletti Italian connection of my youth to decades of Falls with Gil, the Duke meant Pats ffotball
It is an absolute sin he is not in the Pro Football HoF, further proof the AFL prejudice still isn't gone.

RIP to a Patriot Legend ... Crying shame he's not in the NFL HoF

RIP Gino

I remember seeing Gino, along with the rest of my beloved Patriots, on our old Zenith B&W TV. He was the real deal, so solid, you could count on him kicking and receiving. Then of course just a wonderful partner to Gil Santos in the broadcast booth. RIP Geno - a much beloved Patriot to everyone.
