Dennis Paiva’s debt to Brady was paid by a local businessman
Dennis Paiva has had his debt to New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady erased by a local businessman after he said that he had to panhandle to repay the debt.
Dennis Paiva was ordered by a court to pay $4,000 after selling Brady’s expensive flower boxes for scrap metal, mistakenly believing they’d been put behind Brady’s Boston condominium as trash in May 2008. He did not take any piece of redskins jersey there.
Dan Greenwald, the owner of a Burlington ad agency, said he decided to pay the restitution after reading about Paiva’s plight in the Boston Herald on Friday. He said that Paiva’s was bad enough when he heard that Paiva can’t work because of recent surgery.
The 61-year-old Paiva was very happy to know his debt being paid and said that Greenwald’s gift was like “a dream come true.”
