My heart aches for my friend and former @UVAMensHoops teammate @BernieFloriani who has passed on after his battle with #ALS. He was a tough competitor and a friend you could always count on.
My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family tonight. Much love Bernie. RIP.— John Crotty (@JohnCrottyHEAT) July 31, 2020
