45...Hard to imagine one's life ending that early and a little more than a couple of years ago he had so much to look forward to...Cancer is a killer, I hope we make some progress sooner than later on that front - far too many people are killed by it in a very excruciating manner

Shocking news.. Terribly sad. Such a young man.... I cant believe that. I know he had cancer but I hadnt expected it to act so fast and had hoped he may recover eventually.. very sad. RIP Tito and thanks for everything. Legend.

This is almost surreal. Just a year ago he was coaching the club and now he has passed away. That's how fragile life is.

Such a sad end to his struggles. He deserved to beat his disease. So sad.
