“The theme behind the statue is that it is the people’s statue and parents could bring their kids into the coliseum and go by [the statue] and know they didn’t have to donate $10,000 or $100,000. They donated $20 so they had a part in building it.”

He called 3,051 games, providing the soundtrack for some of the greatest moments in Utah Jazz history.

A banner honoring him hangs next to retired numbers of Utah Jazz legends John Stockton, Karl Malone, Jerry Sloan and others.

The Utah Jazz’s media room now bears his name as well.
