"And just during the time it took me to write this, we've received some awful news about a member of our Nightly News family. Howard Reig has died. Howard was the longtime voice of Nightly News -- from the era of John Chancellor through yours truly. Perhaps the best way to remember Howard is through his retirement tribute by our director, Brett Holey, and through the memorial site his son has created. Howard's voice and spirit will always be with us -- our condolences to his family."

I concur fully.

 

Seems like a lot of good voice-over people have passed away this year (Don LaFontaine, Chris Clausen and now Reig).

 

BTW, didn't know he was 87.
