Grew up listening to him. Have missed him the last few years. Jazz were lucky to have one of the greats of all time. They just don't make commentators like they used to.

So sad, I had a dream last weekend that Hot Rod stopped by ESA, sat-in and called a game. It made me sad when I woke up because I knew there was no chance of that ever happening with his condition. I googled him the next morning and it sound like he was even worse off than I initially thought.
as a kid I used to tune in to New Orleans Jazz games on my transistor radio in Ohio (we had fewer entertainment options back then)...Hot Rod was one of the reasons I became a Jazz fan (and Adrian Dantley cemented it)...made the game fun to listen to...
It's a sad day for Jazz fans. Along with Vin Scully, Keith Jackson, Pat Summerall, and Chick Hearn, Hot Rod was among the best I've ever heard broadcast sports.
