though I never met him. He was two years my senior and was an Illinois All-State selection in both basketball and football. I followed him from a distance as he set records at Springfield HS as a basketball player as well as winning the state long jump title. He achieved more notoriety as a tight end for the Bengals and made the Pro Bowl twice. A long career as a color commentator followed.
Rest In peace old boy....you are well remembered
