Red Sox Broadcaster & Former Player, Jerry Remy Has Lost His Battle With Cancer

Diagnosed with lung cancer back in 2008, Remy still managed to continue in his role as long time Sox color commentator with only brief absences for treatment. He will be missed by an entire generation that grew up watching him play on the field or call games for over 30 years.

An all-star second baseman originally drafted by the California Angels in 1971, Remy made his major league debut in 1975. He was traded to his hometown Boston Red Sox in 1977. Remy’s best season was in 1978, when he was selected for his only All Star team. Over the next several seasons, he was hampered by a series of injuries which limited his playing time to less than half of a season each of the next three years, though he continued to bat very well when he was healthy. Remy played two more full seasons in 1982 and 1983, though his injury problems returned in 1984, and he officially retired from the sport in 1985.

After retiring from baseball, Remy became a regular media personality, serving as a color commentator for NESN’s Red Sox broadcasts since 1988, only taking occasional time off for health issues. He also owned a number of restaurants and wrote a number of books on baseball.

Remy was born in Fall River, Massachusetts, on November 8, 1952, and grew up in nearby Somerset. He attended Somerset High School and Roger Williams University in Bristol, Rhode Island.

PACE announces Open Enrollment for Health Insurance

HEALTH INSURANCE IS AVAILABLE FOR THOSE WHO NEED LOW COST COVERAGE

PACE announces Open Enrollment for those who need health insurance. The open enrollment period is from November 1, 2021 – January 23, 2022.

PACE’s Health Access will have Health Connector Navigators available to assist anyone who would like to apply for health insurance through the Health Connector or with MassHealth.

During Open Enrollment, anyone without health insurance can enroll into coverage for 2022. This includes people who may have lost their job and work-based health insurance in 2021 and have been without coverage. Additionally, people who may have enrolled in COBRA coverage after losing a job this year can apply for coverage and find out if they qualify for subsidized coverage through the Health Connector, which through the ConnectorCare program provides plans with reduced premiums and co-pays, and no deductibles – and will likely be far more affordable than COBRA plans.

Ginny DeSilva, PACE Health Access Director explains, “Our Navigators are hard at work assisting any person who needs health insurance remotely. They can be reached by phone or email, as our office is currently closed due to the COVID Pandemic. We can be reached at 508-999-9920.

In addition, the Senior Health Specialist can assist anyone over 65 with their applications for Medicare Part A, Part B, and Part D; Medigap Insurance, Medicare HMOs, retiree insurance plans, prescription drug programs, Medicaid and Medicare. Seniors should call 508-999-9920 or email
