    Wow, this one really hurts. I grew up listening to him on the radio when I couldn't get cable.

    Rest in Peace, Gene.

    A voice I grew up to when my parents said I couldn't watch the game and had to finish my school work so I listened to the radio with earbuds. A part of my childhood.

    RIP.

    My favorite announcer of all time. I loved listening to him and Jim Foley. They were synonymous with the Rockets growing up. How Sweet It Is!

    Listening to Rockets home games in my mom's car when we didn't have cable was a formative part of my sports fandom. He will be missed.

    RIP Gene, you'll forever be the voice that I associate with my childhood memories of the Rockets in the 80's and 90's......
