CLEVELAND -- - Les Levine, a longtime broadcaster and the self-proclaimed "voice of truth and reason" when it came to analyzing Cleveland's sports teams, has died. He was 74.
His death Wednesday night was announced by his daughter, Dr. Jamie Levine Daniel. She said he died from diabetes and Parkinson's disease. She and brother Jeremy were with him when he died.
"He fought so hard for so long, and went out on his own terms," she said.
Levine, a fixture of Cleveland sports for more than 50 years, continued to work for several years following his Parkinson's diagnosis.
