Sad news. About a decade ago I was in a box at Nassau Coliseum for a corporate event. I think Bossy was working for the club as an ambassador of sorts and he popped in to visit us. He was very kind and I still have the signed Islanders hat he gave me.
As a kid in the late 70's/early 80's I remembered playing street hockey in Calgary and pretending I was him. I told him this and his reply (with a smile) was, "How'd that work out for you kid?" LOL
I should add that a luxury box at Nassau Coliseum at that time was badly wood panelled like a 70's basement and part of the suspended ceiling was in disarray. Unlike any other luxury box I've ever been in it was basically a bar fridge and self serve. They badly needed a new arena even then.
