Cancer is an ugly word. It’s one of the uglest words in our lives. Cancer has taken loved ones from all of us, and now it’s touched someone that we all know very well. I’ll let him tell you himself:
Have always tried to be honest with the radio & TV audience. So will do that now also: I have cancer-and will be off the #Padres broadcast indefinitely after Wednesday’s game. Thank you Padres fans and #aztecfamily for all your support all these wonderful years.
