Today has been a hard day. Reading all the tributes and memories of Jim Robson has been both heartwarming and heart wrenching.

Let me add my voice to the many. A thread:

I lost a good friend today. Who just happened to also be a hero of mine. Like many young sports fans in BC, my earliest sports memory involves the great Jim Robson and a radio.

One Christmas my uncle gave me a small single-speaker radio. I remember staying up late playing with the plastic dial under the covers when I was supposed to be asleep.
