Tonight Braintree mourns the passing of Nelson Chin. Recognizable by his smile & laugh, he selflessly gave of himself to benefit our community. Positively impacted Braintree sports from BY Soccer to Wamps Athletics. Please keep Nelson & his family in your thoughts. RIP Friend!
We are all sorry to hear about the passing of Marty. We couldn’t have asked for a better team manager, score keeper and security covering several decades for the Wamps
