From Connecticut Post sports columnist, Chris Elsberry: Gonillo gone too soon, with some absolutely classic quotes from our Rich Elliott and Fairfield University sports information director Jack Jones and a very sad one from former CT Post and current NY Post writer Mike Puma.
Here’s the link for New Haven Register columnist Dave Solomon’s fine column: Gonillo’s charm prevalent on, off air.
Solomon actually found out early enough Sunday to get a print story in Monday’s papers.
ADD: Matt Levine (WSTC/WNLK): Saying goodbye to a mentor, partner and friend
I know, I know. I’m sorry, but I have to make a fuss, Bill. You woulda done the same.
I promise I’ll get back out there today.
For the last seven years I co-hosted my baseball show with Bill-first on WICC and now on ESPN Radio 1300. One of the highlights of my week was simply being with Bill. He was the consummate professional to work with.Bill had a tremendous ability to communicate with people whether in person or on the air. If you met Bill for the first time, he made you feel like a life long friend. In my opinion he was the best talk show talent in our area and I always felt fortunate that he was part of the “Inside Yankee Baseball” team.I will always cherish the days we worked together. Bill was all about having fun. He had a lot of little boy in him.With Bill’s passing he took a chunk of my heart with him.Rest in peace Bill.
Hey Sean-
When will this weeks podcast come out?
(Sorry, I took my time this week. It takes a long time to do and then the Gonillo stuff hit and I got behind. It should be out today as soon as the webmaster gets up).
