McNiff died following “a long, difficult battle with an illness that sapped his memory and his remarkable spirit of caring for people.”
McNiff, whose older brother also worked for the FBI, graduated from George Washington University and served in the Navy before joining the bureau.
After retiring from the FBI in 1980, McNiff became executive vice president of the Yankees.
