"Rick Jeanneret was hilarious on radio and TV, and how lucky and blessed am I to be able to say he was hilarious in person, too. We are all sad that he is gone, but the best thing about the remembrance the Sabres staged Sunday in KeyBank Center was we laughed at him, with him and about him," Mike Harrington writes.
