Very well put. His professionalism was exceeded only by his humanity.

Jim was a true gentleman. He is missed by all of us who grew up watching him.

@alan2762 Very true. I'm impressed that all of the comments thus far have been polite and positive - not the usual internet fare. Thanks for commenting. David Cohen

Remember when we had reporters like this?

39 years ago today - may those who died never be forgotten.

I remember watching this as a fifteen year old. This was a sad time. Jim McKay was an excellent sports commentator. However, McKay really stepped up to the plate as a news reporter with this breaking news story. I think he really said it all when he said those people "are all gone". Senseless, how those innocent athletes were murdered. Sports should be a time when politics is forgotten while good will and sportsmanship should prevail.
