The man known as the "Old Left-hander" died overnight from complications stemming from a bout with cancer. He was 79 at the time.

On a personal note, I will miss Joe greatly. I grew up with him and Marty, listening to many a Reds game on the radio in the days before there was a Fox Sports Ohio. The two of them had a chemistry that I would guess very few broadcast partners have ever had. I still remember his famous line, "This is the old left-hander rounding third and heading for home. Good night, everyone."

So long, Joe. We'll miss you.

i agree can't say it any better RIP.
