There were many familiar faces rendering a final goodbye to John Havlicek at his memorial service yesterday. One of them was Tommy Heinsohn who told listeners, "You never thought he'd (Havlicek) wear down." Add me to the list of those that thought he was indestructible.
I am truly surprised how horrible I feel about the death of a man I never met. 6th-Man-of-the-Year award needs to have John's name attached to it. I will never, ever forget watching you, Russ, and John playing together at the Old Garden.
