Terry Boers

And those things never failed to just choke me up.

And that spoke to the type of person that Terry Boers was.

On the one hand, he could talk about the hockey angel, create so many wonderful senses, you know, it's getting cracking up.

But he was just such a down-to-earth person as reflected in his writings.

And I've missed him since he's not been on the air.

And the world lost a great person.

It's very sad.

The best to all of you.

You guys are family.

First off, your show is fantastic.

I'm not even that huge of a sports fan anymore.

It's just I love it for the entertainment, and I get my sports now from all the shows just by osmosis because my girlfriend really couldn't care less.

But anyway, I used to read Terry's columns in the Sun-Times, and so I always just dug his sense of style with his writing and stuff.

So when

They announced the score was going to start up.

You know, I was champing at the bit to listen.

And I can pretty much plot my life by listening.

I was an apprentice working in a shop in Chicago roofing.

And so I remember in the dead of winter sorting roof tiles and slates, listening to the score.

And Terry would have a little aside, like, I don't even know if anybody's listening.
