Hello Robert 21,

I listened to Jim McKay many times growing up. For me he is forever linked to some of the greatest sporting events in history, like the amazing 1972 Olympics in Munich, Germany. His voice fit in so well with the drama and sporting excellence taking place on the field, and it's very sad to hear of his passing.

Thanks Jim,

Korbel

Okay, i'll start over.

Jim McKay is dead? Oh no! Wow! This really changes a lot in my life. What? He was only 86? So young, it's a total shame! May God bless his soul.

Satisfied?
