    Listened to the Brewers broadcasts a lot over the years. Became a fan of the Brewers and especially Uecker in college 40+ years ago. Still listened to the Brewers broadcasts through last season. He had a great life and brought joy to many people.

    Lotta memories sitting on my grandpa’s lap and watching the brewers on a 12” tv in his back room. I can almost taste the Shasta root beer.

    “Oh my goodness! Holy cow, do you believe it?”

    For most of my childhood I thought Euchre was named after Bob as I’d never seen the name of the game written down.

    Radio will never be the same without Bob Uecker, Harry Karry, and Rush Limbaugh.

    You can hear his influence the way Pat Hughes (Cubs) and Cory Provious (Twins) call games. I listen to alot of games on XM radio and he was one of a handful I looked forward to hearing.

    The Major League movies were just on TV back to back to back last week. Really get some good laughs at his acting. He was a gem.
