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.

I remember being a kid who was supposed to be asleep in bed and instead hiding under the covers with a little handheld AM radio listening to him call games. :worthy:

100% this. 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!!! (Lil too young for Van Miller)
