It's always sad to lose another "voice of sports" from my youth.

Gowdy, Al Lewis, Coretta King, etc.......you've become the GR* of GR!

GR* = Grim Reaper

We older guys always check the obits first to see if any of our acquaintances have bitten the dust. It's embarassing to miss an old friend's funeral.

Ain't it funny how the older you get the more mortal you become?
Goodbye Mr. Gowdy.

Like the man said, "I check the obit every morning and if my name is not in it, it is going to be a good day."
Thanks Mr. Gowdy
