Sad to see him go, but, man, what a life the guy had. RIP, Chaser.

Last time I saw him was probably 2007? He would have been 81 then, and was still enjoying calling games and even riding the bus.

When I was a rookie announcer in the I back in 1993, he was very nice to me. Always respected him.

What a career.
