Prince Spaghetti Boy dies at 63

It is with the utmost sadness that I bring you this news.

Most of you wont know him, many of you have never heard of him but if you grew up anywhere in or near Boston in the early 1970's you would know exactly who I am talking about.
Anthony ( the Prince spaghetti boy )  was the little Italian boy who ran through the North End in a commercial to get home in time for supper with his family, this commercial was an instant smash and became part of our culture.
In those days we boys had our daily rituals, one of them was to play street hockey and emulate bobby Orr and the Boston Bruins for hours, and the other was to be called home for supper the same way Anthony was by his mom.    
Those days will never be repeated, too much has been lost or stolen from us by time and a changing culture, this is just another nail in the coffin of an innocent youth.
