http://m.tmz.com/2017/02/26/neil-fingleton-dead-game-of-thrones/ Some of you will remember him from his days in high school, had no idea he was on Game of Thrones. Way too young for the big fella to go.

Wow. Pretty young to die of heart failure. RIP. When he was in high school I was told he was a really good guy.

I was at the McDonald's All American game he played in. Still one of the stranger McD AA picks in the history of the game. Yes, I know why he was picked - combination of the UNC commitment and playing high school basketball in MA.

Seemed like a good guy.

I had absolutely no idea of his acting career.

RIP Neil.

That's right...............Tony Hanson. I went the gambit of former UC players, Doug Melody, Joey Whelton, etc. Forgot about Tony. Yeah, there was the belief that Neil was going to be heading to Storrs, because of his attachment with Tony Hanson. Neil played at Holy Name-Central Catholic in Worcester. Dean Smith snuck in and whisked him away to Chapel Hill, where he had a difficult time. He then transferred to Holy Cross, and back to Worcester. The heart disease thing can strike overly large persons. But still it's sad. RIP NEIL. To quote Game of Thrones............................."and now his watch has ended".
