Dana Paranteau of RI a service manager for many years and worked with me for 5, passed away in his sleep last night. He wife told my friends that he was breathing irregularly and then his hear gave out. In the magic show last week, Gronk said that he was his trainer, which he is not, just great friends. Dana let Gronk live with him his first few years with Pats.

Man, that's terrible. So you knew the guy and his family? Sorry for the loss. This time of year just makes it that much more difficult.

His family had some heart issues, and him always partying with the Patriots players didn't help. Thanks Dirt, he leaves behind 2 young kids and a wife

Sucks. Not good to party hard when you already have heart issues.

Sorry to hear bro

A wife and 2 kids and he "parties with the Pats players?" Dude probably was on something.

I mean...sorry, but he's not a real man. A real man takes care of his family and doesn't stay out partying with wannabe thug half his age NFL players.

Not saying he was out partying all the time, but easy to get caught up with all the attention with Gronk. Tonight show, Dave Letterman, Espy's etc. Guy kept a full time job as a service manager. But with heart conditions, the excitement doesn't help.

Thanks all for the condolensces

Thanks for the heart-felt message.
For the record, my wife died at 42 with the nick-name of "miss goody two shoes"
I continue to party and I'm outliving everybody.
Be a man - enjoy life AND take care of your family......
Sorry for your loss Sonny
