Godspeed and thanks for everything, sir.

You were the best of the best.

The best to ever do it.  RIP.

[Chandler#81]

Stunned and heartbroken to learn this.

 

Thank you Rick! Loved you all the way back to the beginning when you did the radio broadcast while Ted Darling called the TV games.

 

Rest now.

😢

Too bad he never got to a call a cup winning game, or at least see one. 

 

RIP to a true Buffalo legend

[Jukester]

What?! Nooo!! 
 

THE best ever. I listened to him starting in the early eighties. I will miss him. RIP Rick..you will not be forgotten.

I remember being a kid who was supposed to be asleep in bed and instead hiding under the covers with a little handheld AM radio listening to him call games.

We never got him a cup. I hope he watches down when we do

[Solomon Grundy]

Ohhh Noooo!! Rick was TOP SHELF...

Ted Darling  Van Miller, Rick Jennerette.  There something brewing up there.  And Sabres look to be setup for a bright future.

I left WNY in 1977, and there are only a handful of names I can remember from that time. He is one. 

 

RIP

If he was a goalie, he’d have gotten a cup. 

 

God bless! His family and close friends are dealing with some tough stuff.

Please watch.

 

It says it all.

Not to mention John Murphy's stroke last season. Sabres and the Bills are due once and for all!!!

 

RIP Rick. All my thoughts and prayers go out to Cookie and their kids. Godspeed!!
