Goodbye Uncle Gene: The Nicest Member of the McGlynn Family on the Scene. WE SEND GOOD VIBES TO UNCLE GENE

 Only 81.
 

Look, even though I bounced Uncle Gene off of the board of the Medford Housing Authority, it was nothing personal.  His nephew, Mayor Michael J. McGlynn, should be held responsible for such an alleged conflict of interest.  Gene was ALWAYS nice to me on Canal Street at TV3 and I still have a LOT of respect and admiration for him.   Too bad his nephew - in my opinion and allegedly- abused his uncle by putting him on the Housing Board.

 Gene was a very nice man.    God Bless him on his journey

Eugene Joseph McGillicuddy of Medford, formerly of Brookline, passed peacefully at his home on January 14, 2021 at the age of 81. Gene was born to the late Mary Helen (Hall) and Gerald Patrick McGillicuddy and raised in Whiskey Point, Brookline. He graduated from St. Mary of the Assumption High School in Brookline, and then went on to attend the Cambridge School of Radio and TV Broadcasting. Once he realized that his love of sports wasn’t going to pay the bills, he attended Bentley College, where he received his accounting degree. He met the love of his life Maureen in 1962 while working at HJ Dowd in Cambridge, and they were married in 1966.

Gene loved all sports, but especially Boston sports. He went through many ups and downs over the years with his beloved Red Sox, sitting on the front porch and listening to the games broadcast over the radio. He instilled his love of sports into the next generation and impacted kids both on and off the field through coaching. He coached basketball at St. Joseph’s Saturday CYO league, and was the longtime Coach of Foodmaster in the West Medford/Hillside Little League. In his younger days he was an avid bowler, and later the proud recipient of the “highest average” green satin jacket in the Sacred Heart bowling league. He ultimately put his broadcasting experience to work, providing color commentary for many years at Medford Mustangs football games. More recently, he enjoyed cheering on his grandchildren from the sidelines at various school and sporting events.
