I always looked forward to what he had to say, as a commentator, for many years. The thing I recall most about him was that his enthusiasm would rise to a fever pitch at times and you couldn't help getting caught up in it. With his colorful language he came across as a real character, and I think he added a great deal to many peoples' overall hockey experience.
Not hearing about him for so long, I also assumed he had passed away long ago. I'm happy to see he enjoyed a long life. RIP.
