BuffaloBud Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 He, Irv, and Tom were the "real". Godspeed Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Avenger Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Wow - legends. I was always a news freak as a kid and watched Irv, Rick and Tom nightly - truly amazing those guys put in 30 years together. Nothing seemed more Buffalo than a long time team going strong year after year - captured how loyal and steady and welcoming people were in the City of Good Neighbors. I still hear "Topping tonight's Eyewitness News...." in Irv's voice when I think about it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhg Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Always remember when Schoenfeld got traded to Detroit and he cried on Azar's shoulder. Wife gave me his book, Azars Attic, last year. Need to make time to get to it soon! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextmanup Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Never knew Rick was an alum of St. Joe's *and* Canisius College. So am I. Remember him well from my childhood, along with all the other big name broadcasters in WNY history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlCowlingsTaxiService Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 I had the opportunity to work with Irv and Tom during my time at the once great WKBW ... never had the pleasure to work with Rick but did meet him at the telethon when they reunited ... Rest In Peace mr Azar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
