Mahlon believed in me when others didn't, and gave me my start in broadcasting in 1968. His faith started me on a road that I would never have dreamed I would travel. He was always kind and encouraging. He is often in my thoughts, and I extend condolences and fond memories to his family.

Kevin and family,
Very sorry to hear about the passing of your father. He was the pioneer of announcers in the Zanesville area. It was always great to talk to him before and after games that he broadcasted. For a community to have class acts like your Dad and Van and Jim to do your games was a big honor for us as players. Your family is in my prayers.
