OT: Montreal sports broadcaster Randy Tieman passes away

[Le Tricolore]

Thought this deserved its own post. Heartbreaking. Tieman was the best.

Really sad news; a big shock. Used to watch him all the time on CFCF and listen to his radio show on TSN690. Condolences.

 

[FrankMTL]

Very sad news...I remember watching him at dinner time on CF CF Pulse. Always seemed like such a loveable guy. RIP Randy.

 

[Fazkovsky]

We are all gonna die. Less complaining more doing...

RIP

 

[Chili]

Sad to hear, such a positive person, he`ll be missed.

 

[A Loyal Dog]

Aww. I used to love listening to him on Pulse news... This really sucks.

 

[Whitesnake]

Was stunned to hear that news....RIP Mr. Tieman. Somethign that gets me everytime when it's suddenly is to watch the people's twitter feed writing about whatever and suddenly....not there anymore. Obviously not knowing that when they wrote that....it was going to end shortly after it...

Damn son... horrible news.

I can fully relate to everything that's been said in this thread. Randy was a treat to listen to, always upbeat and made fans who interacted with him, feel that they mattered.

I'll miss that big booming laugh and chuckle. I watched him on Pulse for the longest time, like a lot of posters here. However, I particularly enjoyed when he came out of retirement to act as a summer host on TSN690 -- he made afternoons a joy to listen to.

A great tribute video to him right here: https://montreal.ctvnews.ca/video?clipId=1542859

It was odd to hear some familiar voices from that clip: Bill Haugland, Rob Faulds and Ron Reusch.

Some have left messages about him on CTV Montreal's FB page: CTV Montreal



Stu Cowan hits it spot on.

A sad day in the Montreal sports world, to be sure. However, he touched many who weren't even sports fans. My wife knew about him and loved him and doesn't even like sports. He just came across as so genuine, a lovable teddy bear as the clip put it.

RIP.

A real Icon in Montreal's news world. Wasn't very old either. Too bad.

RIP

Sad stuff. Did not get to enjoy being retired. That’s not fair

 

[Habs Icing]

Jeez, I'm speechless. I knew he had a history of health problems but he always seemed to overcome them. Our loss. Wherever he is I'll bet he's got everyone smiling.

 

[Born in 1909]

Wow! I'm in shock.

He was not even that old.

RIP Randy T.

You were a part of Montreal.

Oh no!!!!

I remember him more from the Team990, he’d be on at 1300hrs most of the time and do spot duty here and there. He was fun to listen to, like Runner said, he’d always interact with his callers, his line was...”ok, we’re gonna have some fun here and play a little game”.....at least that’s what I remember.

RIP RT

no way =(

 

[Canadiens Ghost]

I grew up listening to him. I really liked him, probably my favorite. Seemed like a genuinely good person.
R.I.P.

 

[beowulf]

RIP he could have been dead years ago between cancer and heart surgery. Him making it this long is testament of his will to live.

 

[Laurentide]

In semi retirement he was able to make TSN690 bearable. Now there's only Melnick.

I very much doubt that we will be mourning here when Marinaro inevitably chokes to death on a cannoli.

It shows the importance of taking care of one's health - if not for ones self, especially if you're a guy that so many people were fond of like Randy.
