The Freep has a few errors, namely AM frequencies, and omits Ron’s restaurants past the 1980s, but it is still a nice read. Next Friday I’d love to hear comments on air from old producers, as well as interviewees and callers. If Sean Baligian, George Eichorn, and yes, Bob Page could phone in and ex...

Another article about Ron.

https://detroitsportsnation.com/detroit ... 24/446738/

It feels like an AI rip from the Free Press article, but it's good to know that the news is being announced through different news sources.

Great to hear some of the stories of experiences with Ron. My two cents, would like to keep thread open. Would be nice to post here and there when a “Ron moment” memory hits. For example when Killian Hayes is a all star :) The length of this thread is testament to the many ways that we've found to ...

Nice article on Ron's passing just posted on Freep.com Did not expect that, Dan. A nice-sized article, too, with Martin's tweet (& accompanying references to Martin in the article) & pics of Ron at the mic on WXYZ, at the WXYZ studio with Sugar Ray Leonard & George Blaha, & in front of one of his e...

Nice article on Ron's passing just posted on Freep.com

I think the word "icon" is overused, but the headline's description of Ron as an icon was perfectly appropriate.

With the passing of Ron the longest running thread on the buzzboard will soon (sadly) be coming to an end.I believe after the tribute show it would only be fitting if Bobbert and Momo have the last two posts.The thread should then be locked. Thanks for the gesture. A lot of people seem to be coming...

Tribute from Terry Foster:

"Talkin' Baseball"

My first trip to Tiger Stadium in 1978 was also my first personal encounter with Ron Cameron. Saw him over in the outfield bleachers with one of his friends.

Great that you guys are working together with Martin on next week's Ron Cameron tribute show at 11 a.m. on Friday.

He always said he would never retire.I guess he was right. RIP Ron When I talked with him two weeks ago, he asked me what I did for a living. I told him, then mentioned that I was about to retire. He laughed and said, "I'm never going to retire!" So hopefully he was happy in the saddle until the ve...

In my fascination with Ron, I tried to hold back from making fun/mocking him as to me there was an underlying element of pathos with his behavior. To have continued in his line of work given the circumstances belied a need greater than financial. Given the trying nature of his formative years, I su...

With the passing of Ron Cameron, I think a short tribute would be a nice gesture. Stories of your encounters, etc. You're absolutely right, we're saddened by the loss of our hero. The least we can do is make sure he is given the proper respect and fanfare. If you are taking some musical tribute req...

A couple of nice tributes:

Glad I got to see him in person one more time before he died. That was two weeks ago today at the Ram's Horn in Southfield. He seemed weak, and was very unhappy with his recovery from his knee surgery. I guess it's fair to say that putting things off probably caught up with him. But it's amazing tha...

PS. Can someone update his Wikipedia entry? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Camer ... rtscaster)

Sure, I'll take care of that. I just found out. I'll do it right now.

Thanks to whoever made the update.
