Is Gino Cappelletti still alive?

Gino Cappelletti is no longer alive. The American Football player passed away on May 12, 2022.  Cappelletti was one of the AFL’s brightest stars, winning league MVP for the first time and retiring as the league’s all-time top scorer.”

Cappelletti began his professional career in Canada for three seasons after playing college football at the University of Minnesota. When the American Football League launched in 1960, the Boston Patriots signed him as a member of their initial team.

For the ten years, until the AFL was absorbed by the NFL, Cappelletti appeared in every game for the team. He is a member of the Patriots Hall of Fame and ranks third in points scored, tenth in receptions, and twelfth in receiving yards in franchise history.

Cappelletti spent seven years in the broadcast booth after his playing days (1972-78) before joining Patriots coach Ron Erhardt’s staff in 1979 as the team’s special teams coordinator until 1981. In 1988, he returned to working for the Patriots as a radio analyst, a position he held until 2011.
