Sad beyond words to hear about Pete Van Wieren. A true gentleman and wonderful person. And such a great broadcaster. R.I.P., Professor.

Saddened by news of "The Professor"Pete Van Wieren passing away. The most astute of the ALL STAR TBS booth. He made us all feel welcome!

RIP

Wasn't he still active? Or had he retired?

The Professor...solid announcer

He retired when Skip Caray passed in 2008.

Grew up watching him, and Skip, on TBS. Pete was a petty good NBA announcer also. Makes my childhood seem farther and farther away, every time we lose one of these greats.

Well said. I feel the exact same way.
