Had the pleasure of hanging around with him.He was a great guy and really made HNIC the greatest television property in the country. Along with Danny Gallivan, we were lucky enough to have the greatest, most professional and creative voices to elevate our national game to the highest level. Of course, Rogers managed to ruin all that.

 

[ACC1224]

Have some great stories from back in the Gardens days, the best was sitting in the visiting broadcast booth as he and Harry called the game. I will never forget that night.
Such a humble man, who had time for everyone. RIP.

Sad day. Best ever, in my opinion.

 

[Buds17]

The soundtrack to many nights spent enjoying Maple Leafs hockey and one of the best -tied for me with Joe Bowen - to ever call the game I love.

This one's for you, Bob Cole - "Oh, baby!"

 

[Nineteen67]

His voice will forever be etched into our hockey memories. RIP.

Even today when a goal is scored I can hear his voice.

 

[Tak7]

This hurts badly - the voice of my childhood, gone.

Thanks for always capturing the moment, Mr. Cole.

Rest well, and remember: Everything is Happening.

I'm glad to hear he was a gem outside of the studio too.

Was just talking about his call when Clark scored against St Louis.
