I grew up watching Bruce Glasier on WCSH channel 6. Bruce's style doing the sports report was a mixture of dry humor, information and a humbleness. Bruce was a cornerstone with WCSH for 35 years, doing the sportscast from 1977 until he retired in 2012.

Bruce had been battling lung cancer and passed away on Wednesday.

In a statement from their website, WCSH said, 'For 35 years Bruce brought events from our back yards into our living rooms. Sports Overtime, The Varsity Club, and the 5th Quarter, were just some of the long running staples of the nightly local sportscast that made Bruce the Hall of Fame broadcaster that he was."

I actually met Bruce and Bill Green when I was working for another radio station many years ago at an event at Gipper's Sports Grille in Auburn. They were both very kind and funny! We'll miss you Bruce.

We'd love to hear your memories of Bruce Glasier.

Here's some video of Bruce.
