Joe Gilmartin - in tragic accident

Just received this from the NBA today:

As you may have already heard, long-time Phoenix Gazette/Arizona Republic
columnist and current Suns.com contributor, Joe Gilmartin, and his wife,
Ginger Hutton, were involved in a serious traffic accident Tuesday
afternoon. Ginger was killed in the crash and Joe is hospitalized at John
C. Lincoln Hospital. His injuries are more serious than originally
reported, but his family and doctors remain optimistic that he will fully
recover. Joe's son, Leo, who works for the Diamondbacks, would welcome any
messages sent to his e-mail address - Lgilmartin@dbacks.com, and will make
sure Joe receives them. Anyone who would like to contact Leo by phone can
do so on his cell phone - 602-725-1691. Joe's home address is 502 W.
Fellars Drive, Phoenix, AZ 85023. No funeral arrangements have been made
at this time, and Leo will let us know when Joe can receive visitors at the
hospital.

What horrible news. Joe is one of the really good guys in our business.

 

all i can say is, :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

 

What does his son do? His name is familiar to me for some reason.

 

Can't remember. He might work for the D-backs' inhouse magazine. I could be wrong on that, though.
