Larry Adderley passes away
Adderley, a long-time broadcaster of Michigan and Detroit sports who went on to become one of the state's biggest golf boosters, died Dec. 20, 2019, after a long battle with dementia. He was 82. (Apparently he was so private there was no obituary, funeral services or announcement of his death till now) I remember him from Channel 7 doing the nightly sports, from Tiger baseball on Pass...RIP sir...
Re: Larry Adderley passes away
I remember him too.
Sad that we are just now finding out instead of when it happened, but some folks are like that.

Wow.... I remeber Larry, very nice guy. Then I heard last week that Don Shane has dementia...... wow so sad.
Re: Larry Adderley passes away
Where did you hear about Don Shane, Mr. Transistor? My sister was friends with Don & his wife Mona when they all lived in Chicago, & I joined them for dinner once.

Re: Larry Adderley passes away
I had heard from a buddy of mine that used to work at XYZ and then Bob Page had tweeted something out a couple days ago about Larry and stating that Don had dementia not sure how far along or anything like that.
Re: Larry Adderley passes away
Thanks. Very sad news about Don. I remember he got hit hard on the sidelines covering a U-M game. And I’m recalling he may have also gotten hit hard on a Dare Don challenge. I wonder the extent to which this would’ve caused or contributed to his current condition.

I believe it was Chris Speilman who smashed Don Shane in a "Dare Don" challenge, he told Speilman to not let up on him, Chis obliged....lolMomo wrote: ↑Mon Apr 27, 2020 11:00 pmThanks.

Don Shane’s off-screen voice could be heard on the 3rd episode of The Last Dance.

Re: Larry Adderley passes away
Momo- They talked about Larry's passing on the No Filter Padcast which was put out yesterday. They also discussed how Don Shane is not doing well-- not at all. They said Donny has Parkinson's, Dementia, and they made a comment that he's not married to Mona any longer which was news to me. They also said he's in a facility in California. Very, very sad.Momo wrote: ↑Mon Apr 27, 2020 11:00 pmThanks. Very sad news about Don. I remember he got hit hard on the sidelines covering a U-M game.

Re: Larry Adderley passes away
Thanks for that troubling update, Mr. Transistor. I'll listen to the podcast.
