Very sad news.

Saw him at Mac N Joes a couple years ago and it was obvious the Parkinson’s had already taken a huge toll on his health. Was so cool how he and Buccigross would always find a way to mention Miami during their broadcasts.

Damnit this is horrible news. Won’t be sleeping well tonight. As I kid he’s one of the few people you associated with the sport of hockey and he had a flare and style that was unmatched

My wife was diagnosed with it last year. Its not bad yet but it is very scary for us.

That sucks, I’m sorry to hear that. My dad had a form of it. From my experience, if you think the medication is making things worse, be proactive with the doctors, because you’re probably right.

great hockey spokesman, he will be missed

Sad to hear your wife is dealing with this. Of course, that means you are too. Stay strong, good things are happening every day in research.
