Honored to have been one of the many handed a bit of research, often on a card, from the great Howie Schwab. So glad the audience eventually got to see his brilliance and personality on tv. An original and one of the best you could ever meet. He made so many of us better.β¦ https://t.co/8gBUkWiFQ4

So sad to hear of this death. A remarkable business journalist who inspired many. Rest in peace. π https://t.co/Z4rOe0yAV8
He was one of the true believers in ESPN and its place in the sporting world, someone who defined the institutional knowledge at a place. He was then part of an awful layoff in 2013. It was a sober reminder of how many are just line on a balance sheet. I wish his family peace⦠https://t.co/KyE9EwQoxP

RIP Wally Harris. I idolized Wally and wanted to be just like him.... I never came close! Such a great referee and an even better person. Had time for everyone, always smiling and had an infectious laugh. He will be dearly missed. https://t.co/xgMbsRcVLi
