FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The passing of longtime New England Patriots radio play-by-play man Gil Santos has sparked a flood of memories, as his booming voice and majestic calls will forever be part of how many remember some of the team's most special championship moments.
Gil was a Patriots Hall of Famer, his passion for the team immense and his talent to paint the picture of what was happening on the field a special gift.
Pair all of that with that unforgettable voice, and it was a special Patriots package.
Behind the scenes, Gil was always gracious, right down to our last email exchange on Super Bowl Sunday.
