Here's to a TRIPLE YOI in heaven!

I grew up listening to this guy on the radio and he was such a colorful person I loved that screechy voice. How could you NOT like him! I didn't know that he gave the rights of his Terrible Towel to a school for the disabled, which has raised 1.1 million so far! What a great man.

Bye now Myron - you'll be missed.

I wasn't aware of that either; they were interviewing a guy from the school last night and he said it truly was a gift that kept on giving. He said they raised $900k superbowl year and average $250k other years which goes directly to help the children (equipment, etc.) at the school.

Sail on, Myron.

Heard it on the radio yesterday coming home from another funeral.

I grew up listening to that unique voice of his.
He will be missed.
