Jim Boeheim calls Syracuse fan hours before his death
The Morrison family of Clay, N.Y., presented a different side of Jim Boeheim that showed a man with a generous heart who loves his Syracuse community. Jackie Morrison told told Syracuse.com three hours before her father, Dan’s death, Boeheim called her dad — a die-hard Orange fan — over the phone while he was in hospice care.
"What was beautiful was he was trying to give my father something to look forward to,” said Jackie, who sent an email to the Jim and Juli Boeheim Foundation earlier in the week with the request for Boeheim to call, and crossed her fingers.
