“He had the best sense of humor of anybody I’ve met in hockey. Just flat out funny. Great storyteller, just could make you laugh. But a lot of hockey guys have two sides to them. Boy oh boy was he intense. Boy could he get mad. He was one of the funniest and one of the quickest temper guys I’ve ever met in hockey.” – Mike Haynes, television play-by-play voice of the Colorado Avalanche
