The late #JimValvano of https://www.v.org appears with buddy #DickVitale in this 1992 #BillCosby episode. They are all so full of life.

Just four months later, #Valvano was diagnosed with terminal cancer. #Vitale's cancer is still being treated.

Valvano's sage advice: "Take time every day to laugh, to think, to cry." Amen.

Down here we don't have #JimNance and the CBS boys on the call.

We have ESPN with #BrianCuster on play-by-play with #DickVitale providing colour for the 1st semi and #JayBilas for the #UConn vs #MiamiHurricanes game.
