James Mattioli Obituary
"It's a terrible tragedy, and we're a tight community," Mayor William Vineall told the Utica Observer-Dispatch. "Everybody will be there for them, and our thoughts and prayers are there for them."
James' grandparents, Jack and Kathy Radley, still live in the city, the newspaper reported.

Can't believe an NBA legend lost his life yesterday. I guess you can play hoops with him, buddy.
How you can show support

Hi again,
I had no idea you were into hockey! I'm sure you continued to play the game with the Humboldt Broncos players who left us over a year ago.
