Breaking: Father of Celtics Tremont Waters found dead at West Haven, Connecticut hotel

According to WTNH.Com's Alex Cenevia, the father of Celtics rookie, Tremont Waters, was found dead on Thursday at a West Haven, Connecticut hotel. Ed Waters' tragic death is currently regarded as an untimely death, or sudden-unattended death as it is known in other states, and will be thoroughly investigated by police and other authorities (per WTNH.com's Elex Cenevia):

Police are investigating the untimely death of a local newly drafted NBA player’s father, who was found dead at a West Haven hotel on Thursday.

Police say that Tremont Waters‘ father, 49-year-old Ed Waters, was found dead after police responded to the Super 8 Hotel, at 7 Kimberly Drive, for the report of an injured/ ill person, at around 12:04 p.m.

Authorities are investigating Waters’ death as an untimely death and it is considered an active case.



This is a tragic occurrence for Tremont, and there is little of comfort that can be offered. I am not into platitudes, and you won't hear them here, but there is an intense sadness to this news for the Waters family, the Boston Celtics and all of the fans that adore our team and the guys that play for it. Tremont has had a solid showing in Summer League. We are all in this together, and I can't possibly imagine what Tremont and his family are going through.

A sorrowful farewell to Kitty's Restaurant (North Reading, MA) as a family tradition

  Time to say "Goodbye" to Kitty's Restaurant - my   family's destination and tradition for six generations and more than 80 years. My memories of Kitty's go back to the early-1950's . I would accompany my dad and grandfather on fishing trips to the Ipswich River in North Reading, Massachusetts - followed by a visit to the restaurant on Main Street. In later years, my wife, Linda, and I would eat there with our two kids, Marc and Lisa - and years later - with our two grand daughters - and still later - with our great grandson, Carson. Author and family at Kitty's approx. 10 years ago Kitty's never disappointed. The drinks were big and well-made . The food was terrific - as were the portions. The service was exceptional and we became well-acquainted with the waiters and waitresses. It all worked so very well for many decades. My grand daughter, Courtney , was particularly fond of the restaurant. She was born with cystic fibrosis , and during her fr...
