So sad to hear of Leftys passing. My first life experience with Lefty was in 1969. as an 8 year old and being drafted by him on the TWLL Yankees. 5 years of playing under his leadership was so much more than learning baseball. His compassion and kindness to myself and so many other youths left a lifelong footprint. I loved running into him throughout the years and have conversations of the old days. I had the privilege to be appointed, the same day with Lefty, to the City of Tauntons Conservation Commission 16 years ago. We served together until his retirement from the board a few years back. I enjoyed our Monday meetings and discussions about conservation and so many other topics. Lefty is one of a handful of mentors that made an impact in my life.
My condolences to Mrs. Enos and the entire Enos family. Thank you for sharing your husband, dad and granddad with people throughout his life, and I along with so many others are better off because of Lefty.
God speed Lefty. You will be missed
