Harry also did Notre dame games...I vaguely remember hearing that he did do ND Football. Was he an alum? I was wondering about the connection, since Harry was pretty much committed to the Philadelphia area.

I am listening to the Phillies radio team right now and they are struggling just to make it through the first inning. It’s gotta be tough to do this game after your dear friend has died. Most of us would be able to take a few days off work if someone near and dear to us passed but these guys have to go on and it tough.

This braves-falcons fan sends his respects. Mr.Kalas had a very distinctive voice and delivery. Loved his work on football games over the radio.
Thanks, Vigilantcitizen.
I know you folks went through the same thing last summer with Skip Caray. The game we grew up on just won't be the same.
It makes me look back at all the things and people that I knew, that are now gone: The Vet, Whitey Ashburn, Harry the K.
A very sad day for the entire Delaware Valley.
