Heads22 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Terrible. When I went to college and only had the option to listen on the radio, I couldn't understand his appeal. Then it got to the point when it was annoying when he wasn't on the air because I was so used to him. This sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last spring training (2019) he sounded really rough, but he picked it up as year went along. I remember thinking then something was wrong. When he signed on for another year I figured he was fine. very sad. RIP Farmio the best call of the World Series “Sox Lead! SIX FOUR!” 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcq Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Ed was part of the family. We all came to know his voice as part of the daily White Sox experience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Wow. I knew it was serious when I saw an OG (@aboz56) come out the woodwork. RIP Ed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pants Rowland Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 RIP Farmer. I confess was never a fan of his broadcast style, but hearing this news just drained the life out of me. He always seemed like a good guy and a member of the White Sox family. Another sad sad day, indeed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palehose1 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I listen to the games on the radio a lot, he will be missed Coincidentally Bill Melton recently had a 5 hour open heart surgery; he has now caught pneumonia, wishing a speedy recovery for old Beltin Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palehose1 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 He certainly fulfilled a dream- a kid from the South Side of Chicago pitching for the White Sox, making an All Star game and then being a Sox broadcaster for 30 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had already had an organ transplant (kidney IIRC) and was a big advocate for organ donations. He was immuno-compromised and I remember him not traveling to Toronto during one of the last outbreaks (SARS or something similar) to avoid being exposed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turnin' two Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Terrible news. Growing up, we didn't have cable so we listened to games. Every night. Ed has been part of the soundtrack of my life for nearly 30 years. Listening to him while playing backyard ball, at the dinner table and every time I was in the car. It won't be the same with out him. Rest in Peace, Ed. Turn on the fireworks! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
