We played football for the Danvers High Shool “Onionmen” under Glenn O’Brien in 1959…Then we became “Brothers” when he joined Sigma Chi at the University of Maine and he became a legend in House folklore. He was a key player on the Maine football team that went to the 1965 Tangerine Bowl. I’m sad he’s gone….but happy he’s pain free.My prayers go out to his extended family…He was a special man, brother, friend and teammate.Rest in peace Rigger.
