Bob Cousy Rumors

Even though he’s 94 and not in the best of health, Bob Cousy continues to do what he can to support Big Brothers Big Sisters. He came up with the idea of auctioning off a meet and greet at his Salisbury Street home, and the opportunity to pose with him and his statue in front of the Luth Athletic Complex at his alma mater of Holy Cross. All proceeds would go to Big Brothers Big Sisters.

Cousy wasn’t sure the meet and greet would take place after he was hospitalized in August, the same month he turned 94. He underwent three surgeries, one to blast away kidney stones and two to clean out his prostate. He spent three weeks at UMass Memorial Medical Center – Memorial Campus and three more in rehab at the Jewish Healthcare Center on Salisbury Street. Visiting nurses and physical therapists took care of him at home for another four weeks. His surgeon recently gave him a clean bill of health and he continues to exercise.

He walks with a walker, but he has resumed getting together with his friends once a week at Worcester Country Club. “I know that my story is I’m 94,” Cousy said, “and I’ve got my marbles and I sound like I’m ready to get into the marathon, but the reality is I have to use my walker and 90% of my time is spent sitting in a chair. But I’m still functioning.”
