Dave Timperio and Kenny Vincent, two former Watertown Summer Basketball League players who died at a young age will be honored with a granite bench.
A GoFundMe campaign has been started to honor two Watertown Summer Basketball League players who died at an early age.
The money would pay to purchase and install a granite bench engraved with the names of Dave Timperio and Kenny Vincent, both of whom grew up in Watertown and were participants in the Watertown Recreation Summer Basketball League for many years.
The remaining funds will be split evenly and will be given to each family for use of their choosing. Dave played for the Wire, while Kenny played for the Johnson Club, according to the campaign site.
“Unfortunately, both died suddenly and tragically well before their time leaving a huge void in their family, friends and colleagues. We would like to recognize their lives and the support and participation they enjoyed in the Summer League and the many friends they made along the way,” the page said.
A dedication ceremony is scheduled for Thursday, Aug. 4 at Saltonstall Park beginning at 7:30 p.m., after the first O’Brien-Jerahain Legends game.
