phil_soisson Posted May 14, 2023 Report Share Posted May 14, 2023 I loved Hannigan. He had great stories. For his day job, he worked for a beer distributor. Saw him more than once at Sammy McCarthy's saloon down in the Old First Ward. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pimlach Posted May 15, 2023 Report Share Posted May 15, 2023 I met him and got his autograph when he was playing for the Bisons. Very good, mostly AHL player during the 6 and 12 team era. Nice man and he was very good in the broadcast booth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted May 15, 2023 Report Share Posted May 15, 2023 10 hours ago, Quint said: His refusal to ride off into the sunset with WGRZ, like Irv, Tom and Rick did at WKBW-TV Eyewitness News, was the final and most gross misjudgement for me and it didn't sit well that he went to join the Pegulas, who usurped this guy from his long-standing perch. Well, eventually he did ride--or drive--into the sunset. He was my Uber driver a few years ago. Retired, just doing it to keep busy, etc. Really nice guy, too.
