The Patriots just released a statement from owner Robert Kraft on the passing of Patriots Hall of Fame Broadcaster Gil Santos. Here's what Kraft had to say about the legendary broadcaster:
“For generations of Patriots fans, Gil Santos was and forever will be known as the ‘Voice of the Patriots.’ Tonight, I am deeply saddened to learn of his passing on a day that he was celebrating his 80th birthday and his 57th wedding anniversary to his wife, Roberta. Gil was a legendary broadcaster, who for 36 years passionately described the play-by-play detail of every Patriots game during his career, including many of the most memorable moments in franchise history.
