Joe Nuxhall passes earlier today. He was a Cincinnati Reds former player and radio announcer for MANY years. I cant tell you how many night i listened to Joe and Marty (brennaman). It was common for Reds fans to watch the games on tv while muted and listen to the radio play by play.
I'll miss you Joe!
God Bless,
Shawn

I'm not familiar with him but I definitely know what it's like to have an affinity for home broadcasters! I dread the day Harry Kalas or Merril Reese retires/passes on. So a heartfelt rest in peace from me.

The Visitation for Joe is happening just a hop skip and a jump from my office. He ate breakfast at the Bob Evans that I get my occassional lunch from. And he's the voice I remember from my childhood and up to adulthood as I listened and rooted for my Cincy Reds! 10,000 are expected to file thru to pay their last respects. He will be greatly missed! Joe - you have rounded third and headed on to heaven! RIP!
