Friend and former broadcast partner, Bill Kalivas, passed away yesterday morning at age 88. When I first came to Pocatello in 1982 to broadcast Bengal games, Bill was part of our 3-man team, handling all of the sideline reporting. Later on, Bill made a valiant effort to provide ISU with live tv broadcasts of Bengal games, home and away. Unfortunately, adequate ongoing funding was never available and if I'm not mistaken, that was probably Bill's last efforts to broadcast ISU games. Had the internet existed then, I'm confident Bill would have been off and running.
 
I'm so sorry to hear this. I'm actually related to him, his late older brother Tony was my biological grandfather. (I'm an adopted kid, long story but I am related by blood to the family.) I met Bill once, at a family reunion in Lava Hot Springs on Fourth of July weekend of 2003. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting him, I thought he was a fantastic story teller and had a great sense of humor.

Eonia i mnimi (A little Greek for you all, it means "Memory Eternal" and is sung at Greek Orthodox funerals)
