GoHeels Exclusive: Memories To Cherish

Woody Durham called nearly 2,000 North Carolina football and men's basketball games, including the 1982, 1993, 2005 and 2009 national championships, in 40 years as the Tar Heel play-by-play announcer.

"But to relegate his impact to just numbers," said Jones Angell, the current UNC play-by-play announcer, at a celebration of life service Sunday for Durham, "would be a great disservice."

Durham was fondly remembered by his family, friends, former broadcasting partners and other members of the Carolina community on Sunday afternoon at Carmichael Arena. A 1963 UNC graduate, Durham was the Voice of the Tar Heels from 1971-2011.
