Wherever he may be, Ron must be kvelling at the news that that good/great man - & would-be biographer - Ted Kulfan has landed in the Dearborn Sports HOF: https://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/nhl/red-wings/2024/03/15/ted-kulfan-earns-dearborn-parks-and-recreation-sports-hall-of-fame-nod/72987611...

Watching the pistons as they are playing the heat. They just panned to family friend Erik Spostra, With all the local coaches, managers & executives Ron acknowledged never meeting, I was always dubious of his oft-told story about chatting up the Miami Heat coach who was surprised someone remembered...

It appears Mozzarella's Pizza in Rochester Hills, one of Ron's more recent sponsors, has gone out of business.

Can the closing of the Fenton Hotel be far away?

I’m sure they are all struggling without the reach of Ron’s ads to guide the throngs he provided to their establishments.

In yesterday's Detroit News , Lynn Henning was channeling Ron in an article about Ryan Garko, vice president of Tigers development: Credit goes to Al Avila, the previous Tigers general manager, for recognizing the Tigers were a few eons behind too many other MLB teams when it came to grooming playe...

interesting Ron ads “Ladies who trim” B I N G O And a favorite-This restaurant has 20 Jumbotrons brings be back to the 80’s thinking about all those CRT’s :) I always looked forward to that dramatic pause before Ron said, "BINGO!" Similar to the pause at about 11:03 before “I’m hearing an echo”

I am assuming that there is still no word on the circumstances of Scoops exit, and maybe he still lies unclaimed down at the Warren morgue? Nothing more on this from Martin. Here are a couple of his recent posts: Hi Friend, I want to let you know that Ron Cameron does not have any fundraisers or go...

Alex, Matt, Martin, and Luke A somber and wistful parody of "Abraham, Martin, and John" Anybody here seen my old friend Alex? He produced a lot of programs, But he knew when to move on, I just looked around, and he's gone. Anybody here seen my old friend Matt? He tried to show some backbone, Which ...

The Michigan Association of Broadcasters did a cut-and-paste of the error prone Detroit Free Press obituary: https://www.michiganmedia.com/2024/03/01/detroit-tv-and-sports-radio-icon-ron-cameron-dies-at-79/ And added another error: ...died Tuesday (2/27) at 79. Ron died on 2/20. Maybe our expectati...

I just now heard of Mr. Cameron's passing. Prayers to his family and friends. I quit opening this thread when one of you started waiting for him in a library parking lot every weekend. I'm actually old enough to remember Page and Cameron on their show, The gentleman was a fountain of sports knowled...

Ron was probably a fan of 19th century baseball pioneer Al Spaulding, who is actually a member of the Hall Of Fame.

I'm a former Detroit native now living elsewhere on the Lakes and I'm just now learning that Ron Cameron has passed. I read the article written by Jared Ramsay in the Freep. He made multiple factual errors in R.C. history. On radio, he was heard on WMZK-FM 98.7 from 1977-1978. It would not switch t...

A possible gathering of fans may be in the offing. I'd be in.

I’d be interested too. I can always make room for more clever and witty jokers. Is there a mover and shaker amongst us that can make this happen?

Ron was a lucky man. He was able to live to nearly 80 and making his way on that journey by working various jobs related to the sports world that he seemed to love. I thought that today’s tribute show was very respectful to his memory. More respectful to him than he was to those that passed that he ...

A tip of the hat today to DeltaDawn, who, in our ancestral thread, asked us to summarize Ron Cameron in one word. Among the earliest of responses was one that asked DeltaDawn, So what made this deserve a new discussion? He has been around forever. I think you have personal issues with him[.] More t...

Ron is the Ed Wood of sports talk radio.

Starting to reviewing some vintage posts. This one stood out.

Mo, I gotta admit, I kind of feel bad for disparaging the reputation of Ed Wood.
