Loved you all the way back to the beginning when you did the radio broadcast while Ted Darling called the TV games. Rest now. 😢 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubba Gump Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 RJ, the only play by play guy that could yell "HE SCOOOOORES" while his voice changed octaves 4 different times. He was truly one of a kind. Rob Ray must be crushed. They spent a ton of time on the road together. Always busting each other's balls. Such a sad day. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's literally the first person I think of when I think about the '99 Cup run. Game 1 OT "JASON WOOLEY, SHOT HEARD ROUND THE WORLD!!!" I was a very young Buffalo sports fan by then, but that run radicalized my sports Fandom. Not a sad day for me, celebration of the biggest Buffalo sports voice of my childhood!!!
