Just saw this. He was a fixture of my childhood as someone who grew up a Dodgers fan. RIP.

Devastating. We lost so many Legends over the last 12 months. The man is synonymous with the Dodgers, I remember reading the only other team he worked for was when he coached the Olympics squad in 2000.

I'm so devastated I can't believe it.

I started crying while reading the comments in The Athletic story where I found out.

I didn't cry when my grandmother died, and she was my favorite person in the whole world.

I already turned my phone off because I can't handle the truth of the texts and emails I'm getting.

Such a horrible day.

I'm going back to bed.

Doug

I met him when I lived in Vegas in the 90’s. Had season tickets for the AAA Dodgers team Stars.

He is still a Dodger Fan, but works in the Racing Industry as a metal fabricator NHRA and was in NASCAR, I have the fastest tire changer that money can buy

His picture could be in the dictionary under baseball.
