The state of Rhode Island lost a legend on Sunday evening, as longtime Pawtucket Red Sox owner Ben Mondor passed away in his home. He was 85 years old.

Governor Donald Carcieri was quick to offer praise of Mondor upon the news of his passing.

"Ben Mondor meant a great deal more to Rhode Island than just owning a baseball team," Carcieri said in a statement. "He was a community leader who supported so many worth causes and who exemplified civic responsibility."
