Buffalo Radio Sports Legend Art Wander Dies At 98

If you ever heard his voice, it was hard to forget. Art Wander, a veteran sportscaster who worked all over the U.S. but is best remembered in Buffalo, passed away on Wednesday after an amazing broadcasting career.

I remember him best from his work on WGR-AM, but he also did tours at WKBW and stations all over the U.S., including New York City. 

He was 98.
