RIP Tim Sassone

[steveu]

Longtime Chicago Blackhawks writer Tim Sassone from the Arlington Heights Daily Herald died at the age of 58 this week. He'd come back from a stroke a couple of years ago. Started writing in 1988, the same year Jonathan Toews was born.

Underrated newspaper and great writing. Sad news.

Huge loss for the Daily Herald as Tim was one of their best. He will be missed by Chicago hockey fans.
