He’s simply amazing, and I can’t recall a time when I didn’t know his voice:

During the sad and difficult years after my father’s stroke left him unexpectedly blind, Dad found at least some comfort in faithfully listening to broadcasts of Dodger games.

 

When I came down to California right after Dad died, I thought I could handle things fairly well.  I was tough.  Scandinavian.  But when I saw the schedule of Dodger radio broadcasts that Dad’s caregiver had affixed to the refrigerator door, I lost it.  I knew how much those broadcasts — and Vin Scully’s inimitable voice — had meant to my father, and to our family over many decades.

 

Vin Scully has been a surprisingly big part of my life.  I wish him all the best.
