Tom Menino has died :(

I was just thinking the same thing. I know he just stop his treatments, but they didn't make it sound as serious as it was, unless it was from complications from something else.

I just saw this myself

I saw this as well .

He was in hospice, and the cardinal visited him yesterday. I think he was pretty far gone.

The funeral is going to be epic

[hulley]

I am so sad about this. I saw the breaking news text about an hour ago and don't know why I care so much, but I do.
drloretta - I agree about the funeral.

[noodleoo]

Oh my, I had no idea. That's so sad.

I think we are sad because he has been such a fixture in Boston. I met him several times and he was always a very real person. And I agree, the funeral will be epic

So sad, and I agree it seems to have happened pretty quickly since he stopped treatment

[liveintheville]

I know. I was so sad to hear the news. I keep wondering what they'll name after him.
