Damn. RIP to a legend

Shazam your way into heaven

I’m crying right now. The memories my late father and I have listening to him on the radio and watching games on KUTP will forever be with me. I remember meeting him in 2005 at Staples center and telling him about it.

I’m so sad

 

[Cheesebeef]

Oh no… that just crushed my heart.

God*******dammit.

R.I.P. Al.

My wish was you see the Suns win one before you go.

I guess now you get to see it from wherever you are.

 

[Chaplin]

No no no no no no no!

 

[carrrnuttt]

This is like losing a favorite grandpa all over again.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

RIP to the greatest voice in Phoenix sports. Just heartbreaking.

 

[GatorAZ]

What a life and career. A true legend RIP.

 

[Chaplin]

He lived next door to my aunt and uncle and was just a consummate gentleman. After all these years as part of the Suns family, Al was the best of us. We can only aspire to reach the heights of such a man.

RIP SHAZAM

My favorite announcer in any sport.

Very sad to know he is gone, he had a great run though. Lived 91 years and spent much of it doing a job he loved. We should all be so lucky.

Shazam, Al.

 

[Billy Bob]

"Oh Brother!" Rest in Peace Al McCoy

 

[Folster]

Sad day for Phoenix and Arizona sports. It's a shame he didn't get to call a championship.

 

[Gambler]

I too am in tears for a man I never personally met. I remember him when he started and he has always been the voice of the Suns. And he always will be. Such a loss of such a fine man. RIP Al.

 

[ProdigalSun]

Rest in peace Al. You were the greatest

 

[Raindog]

An absolute legend in Phoenix sports, and one of the all-time best in his field. RIP, Al.

Charles Barkley statement on Al McCoy's passing: “This is a sad day for the Suns and the Suns family. Al McCoy represented everything that is great about Phoenix, the Phoenix Suns and people who love basketball. I was blessed and honored to work with Al and I’m gonna miss him."

Sad day. Legend. R.I.P.

 

[Mainstreet]

Rest in Peace to a true legend who brought Suns basketball to life over the microphone.

Al McCoy you will be greatly missed. It's a sad day, especially for Suns fans.

 

[Bobster]

Somehow it feels like 51 years wasn't enough.

Goodspeed Al, we miss you already.
