Iconic Irv Brown left us on Sunday, Feb. 3, and since news of his passing at 83 began circulating early that morning the number of tributes, comments, call-ins to Denver talk shows, TV mentions, etc. has been staggering.
I think I've read most of the on-line tributes, including wonderful remembrances by Sam Adams, Terry Frei, Dave Plati, Tracy Ringolsby, Vic Lombardi, Michael Klahr, Kevin Coleman, Gil Whiteley, Dee Anne Menzies, Rich "Gman" Goins . . . and I've surely omitted someone and apologize for my forgetfulness.
Their words were poignant, insightful, truthful – anything but forced, which speaks to Irv's authenticity, his humility, and how well-connected he was on the Colorado sports scene and so very, very far beyond.
