I was saddened to hear this morning that Jack Snow, the Rams radio color commentator, had died during the night. In his commentary he showed more deference to than the Rams than an impartial observer might like, but I've always been a sucker for the home town spin. I'll miss hearing his voice on the radio next fall.
Prior to Mr. Snow's illness I had never seen a picture of him and knew him only by his voice. As is often the case, he looked nothing like I expected him to look. He looked young and fit; he didn't match the image I had in my mind of a 60-something grandfather. It's amazing how intimate listening to the radio can seem. The voices you hear frequently on the radio become as familiar to you as your friends'. And then you see pictures of these people you know so well and realize you don't know them at all.
