I listened to him for over 30 years. He was always fun to listen to, very gracious to my son when they met.

I'll miss him.

And I misspelled his name in the title. It is Caray. Please edit for search purposes. Thanks.

Skip was fantastic, this coming from a Giants fan. Perhaps the most underrated sports broadcaster of my lifetime.

Skip's father is the reason I am a St. Louis Cardinals' baseball fan, when by pure chance I picked up the Cardinal's 1967 opening day (actually evening) radio broadcast on KMOX on an AM GE clock radio from 400 miles away in Michigan.

Even though the signal faded in and out at times, Skip's father Harry along with Jack Buck, even though I was not actually in attendance, made me feel that I WAS at the game.

IMHO, Skip also did a wonderful job of calling games with the Braves, and he will surely be missed by this baseball fan.

You will be sorely missed.

Very sad. He’ll be missed. May his family be comforted.

I think I might just cry.

I always loved Skip. I’ve been following the Braves very closely now since the early 70s.

Skip, Pete, Ernie Johnson. That was a team!

Goodbye Skip, we love you!

This is so sad. He and his father were such familiar voices in my childhood. I grew up watching a lot of baseball. We did not get all of the cable channels we do now. WGN was channel 16 and TBS was channel 17.

RIP.

Very sad news. Skip was part of our baseball-loving family. Atlanta sports won’t be the same without his voice. He could be hilarious, crotchety, insightful, silly, irreverent - but he was always entertaining.
