Sharing sad news – in the words my son Greg posted earlier this morning. Bob passed away suddenly last night:
“Bob Bigelow was a Winchester legend. He played for the Celtics, taught kids basketball, and rumor has it he took on the Winchester varsity basketball team 5 on 1 and beat them. Most importantly he was a kind, generous man who I have known my entire life.
The world just lost a great guy.
RIP Bob, you got next on the pickup game up there.”
Crushed beyond words to learn of the sudden passing of dear friend Bob Bigelow. Pride of Winchester HS, UPENN, 13th overall pick in ‘75 NBA Draft and onetime member of The Celtics. Thoughts go out to Nancy and the boys.
Bob Bigelow’s untimely, sudden passing is huge. He was such an accomplished man… former pro basketball player, long-time youth sports coach, and vocal advocate on the importance of accessible organized sports for young people. He was an inspiration and example for all. Widely known and respected in the sports world.
Bob was my brother-in-law, and a larger than life individual. He is going to be missed.
Here’s a story I wrote about him.
We are still working on getting more details about the death, as family statement on the death is yet to be released.
