    52.

    Living in the Carolinas I would hear him often. He is a prominent radio analyst for their broadcast. I knew he took time off but didnt realize it was this bad.

    Very good person and a well beloved person in these parts. Prayers for his family.

    Former UNC star Eric Montross, 52, dies of cancer

    my two younger sisters died of cancer in their early 50s. They never got to have an easy life. RIP EM.

    He might have had relatives in the Gainesville area. I remember seeing him at the Yearling restaurant when he was in college and I think he said he was visiting relatives.
