RIP

Way too young. Only 69? Woulda thought he was older. He retired too early and this is what happens.

He was Skilling's backup. Rare to find such a longtime backup weatherman.

Skilling fought to hold back tears while talking about him on the 10pm last night.

when you heard his gravelly southern accented voice, you knew it was a weekend night or holiday. jackie bange was usually just another camera angle away.

Interestin', didnt watch the 10pm, but watched the 9pm, and it didnt seem like Skilling was genuinely broken about it. Just gave some standard words without seeming emotional about it. They musta shown u different fuckin footage at 10pm.

Robert Jordan, Bange, and Ramsey ended many a Sunday evening on the TV when I would stop at my parents' house for dinner and a chat.
