There have been many athletes who have passed away at an early age. I would like to honor as many as we can. The only requirement is that left this world before age 50.

My first is Walter Payton. Age 46. OFC

Former Dukie Phil Henderson died a few years ago at 44 from a heart attack. I can just barely remember him from the 1990 team.


He was a very good ball player. Could do a lot of things. He should have been mentioned a lot earlier along with Tom Emma and Dick Devenzio. Duke family. Any other players I missed please list them guys. OFC
