Hall of Famer Andre Dawson is one of the most beloved Cubs in history, even though he spent only six years with the team.
His latest venture is operating a funeral home in his native Miami:
After making more than $25 million during a 21-year playing career that ended in 1996, Dawson started investing in mortuaries as part of a group formed by his brother Vincent Brown, a Miami attorney. A dozen years ago, Dawson had the chance to buy a funeral parlor in Richmond Heights, a neighborhood at the southern end of Miami that’s home to Second Baptist, the church he attends, and 15 minutes down the Don Shula Expressway from where he grew up.
