Bills radio broadcaster Van Miller died
Veteran Buffalo Bills radio broadcaster Van Miller died at age 87.
Miller was the Bills' voice on radio from 1960 to 1970 and 1978 to 2003 and won the Pro Football Hall of Fame's Pete Rozelle Radio-Television Award in 2004. He's in the Bills' Wall of Fame.
"On behalf of Terry and Kim Pegula and everyone at One Bills Drive, we are all deeply saddened with the news of the passing of Van Miller," Bills president Russ Brandon said in a statement. "As the 'Voice of the Bills,' Van's historic radio calls of Bills games over the years will forever resonate with our fans. His Hall of Fame and Wall of Fame talent was overshadowed only by his engaging personality, his witty sense of humor and his love for the Bills.
"We will all dearly miss 'Uncle Van,' but his legacy will remain deeply embedded in our franchise's history and in the hearts of his countless fans in Western New York and throughout the NFL community. Our deepest sympathies, along with our thoughts and prayers, go out to his wife Gloria and all of Van's family during this difficult time."
