Dear Mary Jayne... I am deeply sorry for the loss of your dear Dad, Jay. Just today I was remembering old Phillies, and sharing stories with my husband. I recalled your Dad's name and decided to look him up. It was a shock to learn about how Covid took his life. As a kid, my family had season tickets to the Phillies and so during those games when your Dad was on the field, he became an icon for me! Peace and blessing to you! Mitzi Adams, CT.

Enjoyed his years as a Dodgers and he definitely was a Prankster. Remember the dragging the infield with Reuss and I thought Mickey Hatcher was one of the four.

A good ballplayer and a bunch of class. Not many men can compare to his sense of humor.

I didn't hear the sad news until the first week of February. He was my all time favorite baseball player. I was a fan since 1976. When he had a great season for the Phillies. My condolences to his family, friends, and other fans around the country
