Remembering Gino Cappelletti: Funeral services, visitation date announced for Patriots legend
BOSTON - Visitation information and funeral services have been announced for New England Patriots Hall of Famer and broadcasting legend Gino Cappelletti, who died on Thursday at 89 years old.
Visitation will be held Wednesday, May 18 from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the George F. Doherty Funeral Home at 477 Washington Street in Wellesley. Funeral services are scheduled for Thursday, May 19 at 10 a.m. at the St. Ignatius Church on the Boston College Campus in Chestnut Hill.
