RIP Dan Pires

Another loss
Standard Times Columnist, and Patriots beat writer Dan Pires passed away suddenly yesterday. Malach did not know him personally, only meeting him a couple of times, my Father knew him slightly better, but the little contact I had with him, and the stories I had heard, the columns I have read, he was a awesome guy, quick with a smile, always there to help, and damn good reporter. He was loved by not only his colleagues, but by many of the Patriots, other beat reporters, and sports journalism figures. There was a nice tribute to him on WEEI this morning, and a nice tribute from Standard Times reporter David Brown. I know I will miss his columns.

I am Malach, and I have another local death to report tonight
