I remember him on UNC but never realized what happened to him after that.

He was the example I've always used about why we should never get upset when an SU signee does not get picked for the McDonalds game. Fingleton was a McD AA for one reason only: he had signed with Carolina. I hope he rests in peace.

Sad. I remember when he was at Holy Cross. He took a ton of heckling from the types of Patriot League students who go to one basketball game a year with a season's worth of booze coursing through their bodies. Pretty unpleasant, even by college hoops standards.

I went to college with his best friend from Holy Name. AT guy just saw his brother pass at 35 as well tough year for him. Neil was a very nice kid
