An exquisite aesthetic of unparalleled originality defined Bob's voice and style. A personal favorite memory of mine was from one of the Stanley Cup Finals of the early 1980s with the Islanders. In this case, is wasn't so much what he said- but how he said it. I was about 11 or 12 when remembering "this call": "Here's Bossy, deke-ing.... score-ing; Boss-Y." I think it was an overtime goal but could be wrong of course! Does anybody have any inkling of the occasion I'm referring to here? Cheers Mr. Cole. God Bless, and deepest condolences to his family and friends. RIP Sir.
