His son went to SU.

Yep. He was there when I was and I believe lived in the Lawrinson/Sadler complex as we saw him in that dining hall a few times.

I remember seeing him at a few games too. He was always sitting in the lower old blue curtain seats across the court from the visitors bench. Always liked him as an actor, loved the Rockford Files and he and Issac Hayes alone and together were in a number of episodes.

Great Actor. I believe I enjoyed him the most in An Officer and a Gentleman.

Always impressed me in whatever he did.

RIP Mr. Gossett, sir.
