Lucchino was the chairman of the Worchester Red Sox, the team's AAA affiliate as well."The Lucchino family wishes to thank his friends and caregivers who, over the past few months, have surrounded him with love, laughter, and happy memories.
The family also noted Lucchino's charitable efforts ... which included his role as chairman of the Jimmy Fund, which supports cancer patients. "He brought the same passion, tenacity, and probing intelligence to all his endeavors, and his achievements speak for themselves."
