Sometimes we have remarkable individuals in our midst but fail to consider how special they are just because they are always here.
So it is with Larry Zimmer, who has been a fixture and legend in Denver and Colorado broadcasting for so long that he can be taken for granted.
But he is not taken for granted here, today.
Most fans know that Larry suffered a fall in his Lookout Mountain home in early October, and battled his way back to great condition over a four month ordeal combating several different medical issues.
Most do not know the degree of Larry's medical problems, and he would not want me to drum up sympathy by writing them all up.
