RIP Caulton Tudor

[HugeDeacFan]

Passed away last night apparently.

Not a Wake guy obviously but been a mainstay in the NC and ACC sports world for decades.

Grew up reading him. Sad news.

I didn't see it mentioned- was he sick? These days 70 is fairly young to pass away.

 

[HugeDeacFan]

Not sure. Just read it on Twitter from a few folks but no specifics were given.

Sad news. He recently retired from the Raleigh News& Disturber- wonder if he was sick.

RIP

I interacted with him briefly when my youngest son was playing high school sports. He was kind and responsive.

I came to know him over the last 8-9 years. He was a great man. And a great writer. Period.

Guy was an alum of ECU, so that's a given. But yep, good writer and I enjoyed his columns.
