Merrill Reese had some nice things to say about Larry O'Rourke

FROM KEITH GROLLER

was over at Eagles training camp this morning, checking out "The Dream Team" and had a nice conversation with Merrill Reese, the radio voice of the Eagles. As you can imagine, he's quite a talker, and a very likeable guy.

I will feature Merrill in my "Finetuning" column tomorrow, but wanted to share his comments on the recent passing of our dear friend, Larry O'Rourke:

"Everybody who knew Larry O'Rourke, loved Larry O'Rourke," Reese said. "There was never a kinder, more humble individual than Larry. Seeing what he went through [battling ALS] was such a heartbreak and at the same time, seeing the courage he displayed was just remarkable and inspiring. All of us had such great love and respect for Larry and those feelings will never diminish."
