I found out this morning from Dan Taylor's Facebook page that sportswriter Phil Pepe passed away at age 80. Phil was best known for writing over 50 books. If you want to see them go to Worldcat and do a search on his name. For many years he was a reporter for the New York Daily News.
I best remember him for being part of the morning team on Harry Harrison's show on WCBS-FM. In the photo above you can see from left to right Phil, Harry, Mr. G. and Debra Wetzel. Phil's sports reports were always concise and to the point. At 6:30 PM on Bob Shannon's show he would make comments on his segment called the Pep Talk,
Phil was certainly an asset to his profession and will certainly be missed by his friend and colleagues. His books will live on. My condolences to his family.
