I’m sorry I couldn’t properly lead to this beautiful tribute the @CollegeGameDay put together. Really wanted to thank all of you for the avalanche of love and support you’ve shown Ben. It gives me and my family such comfort knowing how he impacted so many peoples lives around the country. He was a beautiful and loving soul.
We are heartbroken that Jim Donovan, the Voice of the Browns, has passed away.
Jim provided so much joy and love to this city. His steady presence on the radio for Browns games and on television for nightly news made it feel like he was an extended family member for all those that tuned in. His signature calls will be forever embedded in Browns history.
Our thoughts are with Jim’s family and everyone who had the immense pleasure of considering him a friend.
Once more I stare into the abyss of melancholy, a ubiquitous fog from which I cannot escape. Though I yearn for days of yore and pine for everlasting happiness, alas, these joyous wonders elude me, leaving a hardened shell of a broken man. #Browns
