I'm sorry to see the sad news. He was terrific as the host of $otC, a game show that required more skill emceeing than the average game show. In December 1985 I attended a taping of the syndicated version and was sitting in the front row when he took a moment in passing by (he could have easily continued up to the set saying nothing) to say hi to me and my brother.
On camera it was obvious he was a tall man. In person? Like seeing an NBA star.

I thought you meant this guy:
One of my favorite pitchers from the 60s and 70s (and Gaylord's bro).
Alive and well at 80.

My aunt was on Sale of the Century, but before his time. If I remember correctly, her tenure on the show spanned the end of Jack Kelly's time and the beginning of Joe Garagiola's. --Bob
