Sports broadcasting legend Dick Enberg died Thursday at the age of 82.

According to Bryce Miller of the San Diego Union-Tribune, Enberg's wife, Barbara, said he died Thursday morning in La Jolla, California, from what she thought was a heart attack.

The sportscaster was a familiar voice in the field for decades, providing play-by-play for the likes of NBC, ESPN and CBS while covering a number of sports.

Fox Sports San Diego provided a video tribute on its YouTube page at the time of Enberg's retirement in 2016 that helped capture his impact in the sports world:

According to Miller, Barbara Enberg said her family learned of the death when Dick Enberg did not get off a flight in Boston when they were supposed to meet.
