A friend to the Stewart family of all generations. A brother official and a good guy. The elbow minor he gave me at Groton/Middlesex Chamionship game, I deserved.

Mary Lu and family,
Tinker was a favorite of a close group of New England baseball coaches of our time. Tinker - to all the great times we had in college baseball plus coaches meetings, ABCA Conventions, NCAA tourneys, etc., etc. May you rest in peace.
