    The SoCal brethren will know him. Longtime Southern California broadcaster died at 81. He also was in some movies, including "Brian's Song" and "Fast Times at Ridgemont High."

    To me, he was always what the late great Jim Healy called him: Silvertip Stu.

    He always seemed to be calling the action ringside in the Rocky movies.

    The scene with Spicoli was great. "Where'd you get that jacket?"

    Also the voice of the NHL on CBS in the first year of expansion, before Dan Kelly.

    He replaced Keith Olbermann on Channel 5 in L.A. when Olbermann went to KCBS, his last stop before ESPN.
