I remember watching him with the Sports Machine when I was a kid.

May God comfort his family and friends.

I was living in Washington, D.C. when he was working at a local station and started the Sports Machine. Always enjoyed his broadcasts.
Reading the obit and seeing the names of Warner Wolf and Glenn Brenner brings back some great memories of some good years in D.C.

Sunday nights, 1991, Andrews AFB. The Sports Machine was a weekly ritual. Great show and a great guy. RIP George Michael.

this saddened me. He was an icon on WRC. That and Abe Pollin, its a rough year for sports in the DC area.

I remember him in 8 seconds. a big rodeo fan, he was instrumental in that movie being made.
