Doesn't look old. Was calling Pels games just days ago. Probably an accident of some kind

He was only 49 according to his facebook (Birthday
September 16, 1969)


eta: his mom posted

quote:

For all of his fans: Chuck loved his job and all that it entailed. He had a special, big heart. He loved the sports and trying to get everyone there as excited about the games as he was. I’m his mother and cannot believe he’s gone. I think he’ll be remembered by many.

Who is it that calls the play by play over the PA? Nasally voice and cant differentiate between “pass incomplete” and “passing complete”

If it’s the man who just died, then now’s not the time.

If not, please find a new one.
