Gentlemen,

I was just informed this AM that former URI FB great Brian Forster passed away yesterday. 2 X AA on both of URIs great teams.
Am sure some of you guys know him as he was a fixture at FB games/events and BB games.
Details to follow.
Please pass this sad news on to anyone who may have known him.

That is awful news. Was a fun guy to be around. RIP

What a phenomenal tight end he was. Those were some glorious years in URI football history.

Hal any more news on this?

Nothing new to report.
Everybody in shock. Arrangements being made.
Will pass on details when I get them.

thanks

Very sad, RIP Brian.

Maybe I'm just cynical but asking for 25k to be donated for a funeral seems kind of odd to me...

Hi Josephski,the funeral costs are in line at about $10-11K.
Balance goes to a scholarship fund at Danvers High in his name.

RIP Frosty!!!! For those of you who never got to see him play he was "Gronk" way before today's Gronk. He used to be triple teamed and still catch the ball and run. Best games was against Brown after Hurricane Gloria!!!

RIP....very sad news.

Nice article in projo....

Fantastic article about a "Great" Player!!!

I remember Brian Forster very well.
He was a big part of the most fun, and greatest
years in URI football history.
Forster was tough, and a prolific pass catcher.
URI's offense was a forerunner to today's
pass happy football.

Very sad news.
Both were ejected from the vehicle. Found the Monday morning after crash sometime night before.

So sad. Rest in peace young men.

Good grief,the FB dept. must be reeling.
They say you need recruits from winning programs and Don Bosco fits the bill.
Terrible news.

Nineteen is just starting out. Sad. As for Brian Forster, the Gronk comparisons are apt. Nowhere the same size but very tough. Great hands and route runner. Had NFL skills if not size and speed. Second best tight end ever from Danvers. Mark Bavaro being the first.
