    Happened in Fort Myers, so it was very sudden, I assume.

    RIP.

    How terrible. Nick was one of the sweetest guys you'd ever meet. Total surprise. He was filing daily from Ft. Myers.

    A friend who knows him said it was an embolism and Red Sox medical staff was unable to revive him. Very sad news.

    Very sad. Was probably going to run into him in the next week. Had many pre-game meals with him before Red Sox-Rays games. RIP to a good, kind man

    A formal obituary:

    Nick Cafardo, baseball writer of uncommon grace and dedication, dies at 62 - The Boston Globe

    I was the atypical 11-year-old who listened to sports talk radio, so my first exposure to Nick (and Shaughnessy) was listening to a PM drive sports talk show.

    I was amazed that these guys could talk sports for a living, and I said "that's what I want to do!"

    I admired how Nick rose up, from the Enterprise to the Ledger, and then to a Boston paper. He's the last of that group that came up that way, him and Gerry Callahan.

    I interacted with Nick once or twice, and the guy was patient and kind. May he rest in peace.
