Ernie Harwell, Hall of Fame broadcaster, songwriter, and devout Christian, died Tuesday evening at the age of 92 after nearly a year long battle with cancer. He was surrounded by his wife of 68 years, Lulu, and their four children. He was a legendary figure in the state of Michigan and will be missed by generations of Tigers fans. I will have a longer story about Harwell in the coming days, as he was to so many Michiganders, a major part of my life growing up.
Below is a link to Harwell's farewell to fans at Comerica Park on September 16, 2009.
