Farewell to Dick Lynch

Over the past few years the Giant's have lost people close to them including owners, etc. Yesterday formr player and Giant's Radio icon, Dick Lynch passed away from a disease he talked very little about.

Lynch was with the team for over half a century. He first joined them in 1959 when he was traded from the Redskins after his first season. He never won a superbowl ring while he played for the team but after four decades as a radio personality the Giant's presented him with a ring.

Lynch was not a true broadcaster as some may say, he never went to school for it. The position fell into his lap. He was not regimented, and told the viewers like he saw it and I think that he related to people. He became part of the game that many people looked forward to every week. He had the ability to "bring Giants fans into th ebooth amd into his family, and to make Giants fans feel like family." said Bob Papa.

People like Lynch can be such an essential to a team when fans don't care to listen to the plays made ontelevision, or just want a friendly voice. These are people that are hadr to replace if ever, as the Pittsburgh Steelers also know about. They lost Myron Cope this past February. Cope introduced the Terrible Towel, that is still used at games and in homes today. Cope became part of a family and people thought that they could connect with him. The game remains the same when these so called "legends" pass away but at the same time, for those of us who remeber what they brought to the game, a little part of it will always be missing.
