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.

Had he been battling health problems?

I had not read anything. 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!”

Wow. End of an era. RIP Farmio

He had health problems for a long time.  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.

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!
