RIP Fred McLeod

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Loved listening to his post game locker room interviews after loses, because they were always rose tinted and would cheer me up. Rest in Peace.
He and AC alike. helped get us through some dark days. he saw the the absolute bottom and the absolute pinnacle.
 
One of the best play by play announcers I have had the privilege of listening to. A very very sad day for Cavs fans. My prayers and sympathies to his family. May his memory be eternal.
 
Terrible news. Could hardly believe it when my brother texted me. Will never forget his call of winning game 7 in 2016. RIP Fred.
 
Fred's style really grew on me over the years. I really enjoyed his interviews.
Terrible, shocking news. Very sad day for all of us.
Keep his family in your thoughts.
 
What a shock. So sad :(

I'm glad he got to see the Cavs win a ship, and scream like a kid.

RIP Fred.
 
Holy crap...this sucks so much. Man...Idk what to say. Sorry for his family and people who were close to him. I know this is to soon but who could replace him? We're basically a month away from the season starting.
 
Had a couple of hours to process this and man it sucks. I'm just bummed he isn't going to see these young guys at all. He seemed so excited for this season as the first real rebuilding season. His fandom mirrored our own.

You can say what you want about him as an announcer, but dude was prepared and knew every player in the league. He was always putting out little interesting tidbits for AC to latch onto. He has insane homer glasses, but he would lob those softball questions up there so AC and the players would be able to knock them out of the park.
 
Rip Fred. The guy was great next to AC.
 
I feel so sick at this, deep in my stomach, it’s strange really. So shocked, when I saw the tweet I stopped dead in my tracks like it was a dream.

Can’t believe it, never even knew him but it feels like I did.
 
Many fans will really miss him on the telecasts.
Prayers to the McLeod Family.
