the cdmsbl lost another former player with the passing of nicholas"mick" pupello. mick had not played in the league for a few years, but was an outstanding player and a top of the line teammate. rest in peace mick,you will not be forgotten.
Rest in Peace Mick. I was friends with the family for the last 10 or so years. Mick's daughter Jenn married one of my college roomates.
Every Thanksgiving Mick use to come down to the fields in Troy and we played Football for 2 hours with all our college buddies and Mick. He was the old gunslinger out there playing QB for both teams but just as competitive and as good as all the young guys playing.
Mick was the guy who would do anything for others and think nothing of it.
I am glad I had the chance to meet and play with Mick.
Mick was a very good Twilight League player back in the early 70s. At 58, he was still such a young man. I get all my tires from his Grand Premier shop on the Columbia Turnpike in East Greenbush. Such a fair and honest man and a sweetheart of a guy. Condolences to his family and may he rest in peace. JimK
