YOUR MYRON COPE E-MAILS: What Pittsburgh Is Saying About His Death

PITTSBURGH -- Myron Cope, the longtime Steelers radio announcer, died at 79 on Wednesday after a long battle with various health problems.

WTAE Channel 4 Action News is asking viewers to submit their thoughts and memories of the famed sportscaster.

Here's what you are saying about Myron Cope:
(copied and pasted directly from our viewers' e-mails)

It is truly a sad day in Steeler Nation.

He may not have caught a winning touchdown pass in the Super Bowl, saved the game with a tackle on the goal line, or even worn the pads, but he was just as important to the Steeler Nation as any player who stepped on the field. To know and understand what he did off-the-field (or off-the-mic) as well, only reinforces the common knowledge of just how caring and resilient Pittsburghers truly are. He will be missed by so many in the 'Burg and throughout Steeler Nation worldwide.

What we do have is the memories he has provided us and a character we can all learn from. Possibly the best tribute will be remembering Myron every time a Terrible Towel is waved by someone young or old in Steeler Nation.

Godspeed Myron.

Keith in Allegheny Township

I have my terrible towel in my truck. I have it hanging on the head rest so you can see when I'm driving down the road. My other one is hanging in the front window of my home.

Jim Riggin

Toady the Steeler Nation and Pittsburgh has lost a truly great legend!! Myron was a one of a kind man, he blessed so many of us, and brought so much joy to the game. Though he is gone, but not forgotten, now more then ever the "TERRIBLE TOWEL" will fly with each memory he gave us... Thanks Myron

Our deepest sympathies go out to Myron's family and friends... Thanks for sharing him!

N King & Family

I was just hired by the Pirates out of graduate school and ended up answering the phone for then Pirate President Mac Prine. I will never forget Myron calling my boss, who was not available. Upon being told that he wasn't available, he called me...GIRLIE....I couldn't believe it, he really wanted to talk to MAC and I was in his way....who calls anyone GIRLIE???

A couple of years ago, Jim's Detroit Tigers were in the World Series. I did and interview with Craig and Tunch in which I mentioned that I would like to be a "Pittsburgh Girl" as opposed to a Pittsburgh Guy. That's a term you hear often... but not a Pittsburgh Girl. Myron wrote in the City Paper that Jim had married a "Pittsburgh Girl." I was thrilled!!!

We will all miss Myron. Love,

Katie Leyland

I feel like all of Pittsburgh has lost a part of a legacy and a very special person todayMy thoughts & prayers goes out to his family.At least we know he's in peace &not suffering any more &he's with someonewho he dearly loved and that's his wife.Also he may not be with physically but he will be in our hearts minds &spirits. Rest in peace Myron!!!!!!!!

While stationed in Hawaii with the Air Force, 1973 thru 1976, I had the pleasure to listen to the Steeler games on the radio and always enjoyed Myron's comments. I even wrote a letter to him expressing my thoughts. And being the kind gentleman and fans commentator he was, he took time from his busy schedule during the season to send me a personal reply, long before the internet and email. He was that kinda guy. He is there with other immortals(Jack Buck, Harry Caray, Howard Cosell, Bob Prince, Vin Scully, Mel Allen, and Bob Uecker) to name a few. Myron had that kind of voice and way of speaking that made it a treat to listen to him. I am saddened, I will forever miss his presence

John Janoscrat, USAF, (Retired) Mount Holly, NJ

Thanks for every game call and musical skit. You made this a better city, you make us better fans, YOU made us wave the towel! We’ll never stop waving. You are, were, and will always be the voice I hear listening to the Steelers. I live in DC now, but you bet you #$% that I still stay I’m a Pittsburgher. Miss you, Myron.

Jeff Giron, Greensburg

It is truly a sad day in Pittsburgh today. I most enjoyed his humor, especially his videos and music he made with the Steelers and Pirates. God now has a great man in his company. Myron is a true Pittsburgh legend and will never be replaced.

Eric

Bless you forever MYON COPE!! We have your Terrible Towel and a bobblehead that we PROUDLY have in our car in the back windshied . We are so sad for your family but greatful for what you have done for Pittsburgh.. Our thoughts and prayers will always be for our favorite announcer!

Michael & Louise Wright

My adult daughter and I are born-and-raised Pittsburghers who both now live in Chicago. I was at work this morning when I received a text message from her, and this is all it said: Myron. :-( Never has one word meant so much.

Michele Lang

While most people will remember Myron due to his affiliation with the Steelers, those of us in the Penguins Booster Club will remember him fondly for the support he gave us and the Penguins. In the mid-70's the Booster Club was looking for a charitable organization to adopt. We wanted to support a group that didn't receive a lot of recognition and thus much needed funds. We new Myron had an autistic son and decided to adopt the Pittsburgh Autism Society. Up until around 1994 we sponsored two annual events...a dinner and a bowling tournament. Myron was always a hit at our dinners because he spoke so eloquently - YOI! He had the fans and players in stitches with his stories. Nobody was safe...from Pierre LaRouche to Mike Bullard to Mario to Jaromir. While our hearts are heavy at losing such a great Pittsburgher and wonderful human being, we will look back at his life and antics with grins on our faces. Thanks for the great memories, Myron. God Bless you! Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Peggy Lonett

I feel privileged to have lived during most of Myron’s broadcasting career and feel sorry for those who haven’t experienced his unique style. Though we actually lost him (as a broadcaster) a few years ago the void became much larger with his physical passing yesterday. All I can say is thanks Myron! My life was made better by your existence.

Randy Somerset

I loved listing to Myron before, during, and after the games. In this steeler fans eyes we lost a truly great man and a great sportscaster today. Goodbye Myron we will surely miss you buddy.

Matt Thompson & Family

I was saddened to hear that the true "voice of the Steelers" passed away. He always made me laugh and want to root even harder for our Steelers. I agree that we should all be flying our Terrible Towels high in his honor!! Although I no longer live near, I will always recall Myron's voice as what a Pittsburgher should sound like. We'll miss you.. Don't give St. Peter too many "double yoi's, okay"!

Peggy Trummell, Tacoma WA- formerly of Royal (Fayette County), PA

In my 20 year career with WTAE Radio and TV, Myron was always interested in my flying and traffic reporting. I along with many who spent time with Myron will miss him.

Neal Spence

I was deeply sadened on hearing of Myron Cope's passing. I was sitting at the table eating a bowl of cereal when Andrew and Kelly prempted Live with Regis and Kelly with the news of his death. I stopped eating and went into the living room to watch their coverage of the breaking news. I then got out my terrible towel ,gave it a twirl saying to my mother "This is for Myron ",and then draped it over the top of my chair. Later on I got another terrible towel and hung it on a line strung accross our front porch. Myron was small in stature,but a very big influence on the Steelers,fans,and Pittsburgh. He was an ICON!!! Myron's sportcasts were never dull or boring,but very entertaining! Achy Breaky,Can't Touch This,Coperscope,etc..... My entire family enjoyed Myron Cope's sports casts. My Grandfather also turned down the sound of the TV to Listen to Myron Cope's coverage of the Steelers games on the radio. There were times when my dad would miss Myron's sports casts. I would let him know what Myron said or did. I was able to imitate Myron saying and doing what he did. A very fitting tribute to Myron Cope would be a COMMERATIVE EDITION of the Terrible Towel!!! Myron will be sadly missed,but not forgotten!!! My deepest condolences to Myron's family.

Dave Charleroi ,PA

I met Myron Cope in a function for charity. My friend, Nora Parker, and I along with another public access producer asked Myron if we could interview him for a few minutes and he said yes. Myron was and is a class act who cared about humanity, Pittsburgh and the Steelers along with many other interests. Myron may have left us in body, but will remain with Pittsburgh in spirit until time and space are no more.

Albert Torcaso

All of Pittsburgh is mourning the loss of our beloved Myron Cope, who died today. He was a man respected by so many people, not just sports fans. We welcomed the spirited man with open arms as a member of our family. He'll forever be known as the voice of the Steelers and creator of the now infamous Terrible Towel. It became a symbol of Pittsburgh being our city's flag if we were to have one. His impact on this city was phenominal, doing so much for charity and helping other people. Having the most unique and recognizable voices in broadcasting, Myron brought his own style of humor, coining multiple catch phrases only a Pgh fan understands. No one could ever take his place. Cope haad a way of exciting the crowd to cheer for their team and wave the Terrible Towel high. They say Pittsburgh fans are fans for life, but Myron was the biggest of them all. Before retireing, if there was a game you'd find Myron. There are no words too great, no tribute too big to honor this humble, giving man. He will be remembered fondly by us all and missed, Steel curtain united in grief and respect. We bid farewell to the man, the legend, Myron Cope, as we wave our Terrible Towels in tribute. Rest in peace

Jesse Watts Bethel Park, PA

I HEAR THE NEWS TODAY I NOW LIVE IN FLORIDA AND Myron Cope WILL BE SADLY MISSED BY ALL .AS WITH ALL WILL DIE BUT THE TERRIBLE TOWEL WILL BE WAVED FOR MY DEAR FRIEND ...

A PENNSYLVANIA NATIVE DALE RICHTER

My husband was at a Myron Cope autograph signing early 2007 to have Mr. Cope sign his book. After Mr. Cope had shaken his hand he commented on it was nice to see a man still reading books. Late 2007 my husband was at an autograph signing for Joe Green and all of the sudden you hear yells and cheers of YOI.. and lots of clapping...it Mr. Cope making his way to the autograph table. My husband is waiting in line for Joe Green. Mr. Cope stops when he sees my husband and out of the hundreds of thousands of people he has met asked him if he finished reading his book.....Amazing. Pittsburgh's loss is heaven's gain.

With heavy hearts we say goodbye to Myron Cope "Mr. Pittsburgh!"

Rose Heiles

My sympathy on Myron Cope's passing ... His voice and character will be our memories always ... I think they should drape his casket with a big Terrible Towel , as they do for government officials & Military the American Flag...

A Tribute to Myron Cope
When the words,"Cope is gone"
rang in my ears
My throat got a lump
and I fought back the tears
YOI, DOUBLE YOI...
I heard in my head
My favorite "ism"
Our dear Myron said
His humor and antics
Made Sundays fun
Joy is his legacy
Pittsburgh's Favorite Son
So when you wave that gold towel
high in the air
If you're a true Steeler Fan
you'll see, Myron's there
Though his microphone is off
And his broadcast is done
We will never forget you,
Diminutive One
God Bless and Farewell,

Lyn Hellwig- Forest Hills, Pa

I was truly saddened to hear of the passing of Myron Cope. I felt like I knew him personally. He was part of the family. We always listened to him during the Steeler games rather that the broadcast on t.v. One of my favorite memories of him is how he always went to get a hotdog and use the bathroom during the game. A couple of times when the games were away he hadn't made it back in time because the lines were so long. He was a wonderful man and he will be sorely missed by anyone who grew up a Steeler fan. God Bless you Myron Cope! You have certainly earned your wings.

I feel that a part of myself has died today or at the least the last thread of my youth has been severed. Myron started broadcasting Steeler games in 1970, the same year as Terry Bradshaw was drafted and I was only 15. Myron always kept us interested even when the score was lopsided with his stories, insight, and just plain wackiness. He put the words immaculate reception in the vocabulary of sport fans everywhere. The "Terrible Towel" was invented by him and is sold nationwide. When you hear the word "yoi" you think of Myron, not many people can have one 3 letter word identify them. I remember Myron was doing sports on channel 2 KDKA and when his contract was up he move over to WTAE channel 4. His first night on air at the end of the broadcast all the newsmen, weatherman and sport guys would sit at the desk to say goodnight. On the lapels of their jackets they all wore a gold pin with a number 4 in a circle, but Myron had a much smaller 4 on his jacket. Don Cannon looked at Myron and said "that's an awful small 4". Myron just smiled out of one side of his mouth like he always did and said "It's still bigger than a 2". It's strange what a person remembers, but with Myron Cope there are a lot more memories. RIP Myron

what a great day in heaven! Mr.Cope now has the greatest seat of all for every game that he loves.the angels are waveing there terrible towels and Mr.and Mrs.cope are hosteing heavens biggest sports party ever. I absoloutely loved listening to Mr.Cope on the radio and seeing him everywhere! He has been a blessing to all of us burgers and now the heavens have taken back there native son. God Bless you Mr. Cope and thanks for the memories!

Myron Cope's passing is a sad sad day. I live in Colorado and previously in California but got my start in Pittsburgh. I certainly remember Myron Cope ! He was a great guy and will be sadly missed.

I work for the Pittsburgh Steelers in one of the Sideline Stores in South Hills. I am 20 years old and I grew up knowing Myron Cope only as a loud-mouthed broadcaster. I never got to see the crazy things he did in earlier years...at least not until recently. While working at the store, we sometimes watch the Myron Cope DVD with all of his hilarious stunts and songs. I don't think I have ever laughed so hard in my life. I am just now getting to see how entertaining he was. I know he will be missed deeply by friends, family, and all of Pittsburgh and the Steelers nation.

So many memories of growing up and being grown up with Myron Cope! He will be sorely missed by a 'nation' that has no boundaries! Many years ago when I moved into my first apartment (conveniently near Channel 4), my best friend and I would often stop by the Holiday Inn off of Ardmore Blvd (conveniently located across the street from Channel 4!) to have a 'snack' or two. On several occasions,we would happen upon Myron, Bill Hilgrove, O'Brien and Gary (remember them??)and Joe DiNardo. While most of those times are better left in the past, one thing I remember clearly is that Myron, especially, ALWAYS,took time to talk to any and every one who said hello and asked his opinion! It struck me back then, and even now, how odd it seemed that the Myron I heard on the radio and saw on tv sounded and acted the same as the Mryon my friend and I sat with in that Holiday Inn restaurant. He was a humble, intelligent, kind man; a great fan and an even better 'teacher' -- he taught this 'girl' all about football through his unique analogies ("throwing a pass from his spine"???) and colorful comments. I,too, believe all of the Steeler Nation should have a day to honor Myron Cope by flying our "Terrible Towels" at half-mast.

We'll miss you Myron!

Myron Cope- We sent him a sympathy card, when Mildred his wife passed away in c/o your WTAE. We received a thank you back---with these words: "If I should ever leave those of you whom I love to go along the silent way, I say to you - grieve not - or speak of me with tears- But smile & talk of me as if I were with you- Because God knows-often times I shall be..... " MYRON- You WILL ALWAYS be in our hearts. And, I am sure, the "Terrible Towel" is with you and your beloved Mildred, as you look down on all of us and smile...

Not a native Pittsburgher, I wasn't aware the "Terrible Towel" or the "Immaculate reception" were attributed to Myron Cope. Hearing the story of the man with the squeaky voice is an inspiration to those of us with less than perfect voices. His tenacity and humor only endeared him moreso. He surely will be missed.

we will miss you.. What a funny man..you made us forget about life for a while.. I loved deck the orange crush turn them into mush..the best Chaz Noll's thinking--thank you for signing your picture Chaz Noll's thinking..We went to the same High School..(Allderdice) may you rest in peace..Your terrible towel is on my mantel with your signed. picture Chaz Noll's thinking. You are an angel to the City of Pittsburgh. Thank you

A poem for Myron Cope:

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
(Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die!)

Rest In Peace - God Bring you to your restful place.

Mourning and Weeping, Zach, Beaver County

Myron Cope was to me one of the best sports reporters I have ever seen and I was shocked to hear that he died today. When Mr. Cope worked as a sports writer for the post gazette, He used to work with my great-great- grandfather.

Mr. Cope was also involved with the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand prix to help raise money for the Autism Society and the Allegheny Valley School. My grand father is currently on the Executive Board of the Grand Prix. I am also part of the Grand Prix. Almost everybody in my family in the Grand Prix.

Even know I did not know Mr. Cope in person I still will respect him for all the great things he has done and I think that every one should too.

Thank you for your time

Will R. Stewart

I'm really not a Pittsburgh Steelers fan, but to hear Myron Cope passing away today, even I'm a huge fan of the Cleveland Browns or in Mr. Cope's words "Brownies", it's really has a tear in my eye. Yes, my mom and I remember Mr. Cope the most as a Steeler broadcaster and inventor of the Terrible Towel. We'll also remember this, in the home that my family and I live in Lowellville, Ohio back in the 1980's, we had that 100-foot antenna and we got WTAE-TV and Myron Cope was a part of "The Big 4" with colleagues Bill Hillgrove, Stan Savran and John Stiegerwald. God speed Myron Cope and your Yoi!!

I just received a text message that is being forwarded around steeler country. It is a sign that reads "here we go steelers" with an arm waving a terrible towel. A message reads below the picture "send this to every1 u no...Myron cope has passed away. This towels 4 u..R.I.P. Myron...Yoi & double Yoi" We Pittsburghers are great!

Today we lost the Father of the Steelers Nation. Myron came along just when the Steelers were starting to get respectable. Through his broadcasts and radio show he made the Steelers part of our everyday life - not just during the season but 365 days a year. And thus a nation as born. You could not hope to participate in any conversation about the Steelers if you had not listened to Myron the night before.

He is in some of my fondest memories of that time and will always be part of them

My condolences to his friends and family. He will be missed but not forgotten.

Roger D. Whetzel, Greensburg, PA

The Steelers are the only team in the NFL without cheerleaders. Well, we didn't need them because Myron Cope did more to boost morale and get the fans on their feet than 10,000 cheerleaders could.

What a sad day for the Steeler Nation with the passing of Myron Cope. What a happy day in Heaven as he joins his loved ones gone before. I have no doubt that Myron and the "Gunner" Bob Prince are sharing a few good laughs and amusing Gods Angels. No doubt Myrons wings are Black and Gold and he is watching over his beloved Steeler nation. I will never forget his Christmas " Deck the Bronco's they'er just yonco's" and other playoff "classics"!Yoi, yoi and double yoi Myron!!!! We Love You!

Joanne Shelby-Klein Monroeville Pa.

I'm sad. Myron is a Pittsburgh Icon. I feel sorry for all the football fans around the NFL who never had the opportunity to hear him analyze a football game. The vanilla commentators the other teams have never inspired or help build a nation. It was the creation of the TERRIBLE TOWEL THE SYMBOL OF THE STEELER NATION that caused and maintains the fan frenzy that carries over from generation to generation. Even though he retired at the end of 2004 when I listen to the Steelers on the radio he will always be the one I hear

STEVE HOFFMAN, SUNRISE FL

Heartbroken, like losing a member of our family. He can never be replaced. Living in WV, we are typical fans, turn the voice off the tv and listen to Myron.

As a 9 yr. old in the process of re-locating from Northern Ohio to Morgantown, WV in the mid 70's, we made a lot of trips through Western PA. In looking for something to listen to on the radio, I came across this voice. It was the voice of a very animated person. This person was very excited about something, so I continued to listen. I would grow up learning to LOVE that voice and the reason that he was so animated on that day. Myron Cope. Pittsburgh football. 'Nuff said. Myron, you will be missed by every single individual you have touched whether by your pen, your voice, your image or your antics.

Kim Udell, Warrenton, VA

...I remember as a child visiting the WTAE station with my twin sister Jennifer, and brother Scott. My dad did the sports segment, and Myron would do sports commentary. I still remember watching from the bleachers (the same ones that the kids sat in for the Paul Shannon show) after seeing my Dad do the news, Mr. Cope would give his commentary, and of course end it with "This is Myron Cope, on SPORTS!"

Jeff Conway

Myron was a true gentleman. Everyone should read his autobiography.....it is a truly bittersweet story of life, love and loss....and remarkably, humility! I have seen the Terrible Towel in so many places, including a remote outdoor bar called "Skinny Legs" in St.John in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The Steelers should sport a decal of a mini-towel on their helmets from now on!

LCF - Pawleys Island, SC.

Today I will wear a Steeler Sweatshirt to work and hang my terrible towel in the front window of my home just outside of Baltimore , Md. Myron you will be missed

John

Even if you're not a Steelers fan, everyone from the Pittsburgh area knew and loved Myron Cope. He touched us all and will be missed.

Mike Hillwig, Boston, MA

Mr. Cope was Pittsburgh "Greatest Voice." He will truly be missed. What better way to remember Myron than to win a sixth Super Bowl. Ring and have his initials and terrible towel emblem engraved as a lasting tribute. I'm sure Mr. Cope will be watching and broadcasting from beyond.

C.M.W., Connellsville

It is with a heavy heart we say goodbye to Myron Cope, "Mr. Pittsburgh!"

Rose Heiles

I have since moved away from the Pittsburgh area (where I was born and raised), but you have no idea how sad it makes me that Myron Cope has passed on. I can still hear his voice, saying "This is Myron Cope with sports" in my head even though it has been years since I've actually heard him. Blessings to his family and friends.

Susan

I left Pittsburgh 23 years ago, but Myron was always on my computer when the Steelers played! I never listened to the national announcers; only Cope,Flemming, or Hillgrove. Since relocating to West Pam Beach, I have never lost the Pittsburgher inside of me. Cope’s voice gave me back my childhood memories of the magical 70’s, a time of innocence in sports and in life. When I get home from work today, I am getting out my “official” Terrible Towel and hanging it on my front porch. R.I.P.

Luann Shoop-Wisehart

I remember when Myron first started on WTAE Radio with his morning commentaries. The voice was awful, but it quickly grew on me, and I wouldn't miss his words for anything. Not only was he local and entertaining but he knew his sports and brought real depth to his color analysis and his nightly sports talk show. Myron will be greatly missed, and my sympathies go to Myron's family.

Rev. Robert J. Anderson, Port Orange, FL

My son and I had gone to the American Diabetes/Healthy for Life Expo a few years ago. We were just about ready to leave when we passed a booth and noticed it was Myron Cope's autograph area. My family are fans of not only the Steelers but Myron's too so we hopped into it. We had no idea he was susposed to be there. When we got to the table there was a sign saying he was sick and lost his voice rendering him unable to talk. Although he could hardly make a sound he was very nice. My son (then age 10) left with a good experience of meeting a legend. I got big points for suprising my husband with an autograph of his favorite "Steeler" of all time.

I had the honor of meeting Myron at the Special Olympics in the winter of 1990 at Mt. Lebanon High School. I was a volunteer and was there with people from my work. We donated some money and were helping the kids with skates etc. I had my VCR Camera so I could film the donation among other things. I saw Myron and thought he was there as a celebrity along with the Penguins (Troy Loney and others). I asked him if he could say hi to my daughter on my camera, he replied that he could after his son finished his race. I did not know he had a handicapped child and I felt as small as I have ever felt just for asking that stupid question. I did not want to bother the man anymore, he was their as a parent not a celebrity. About half an hour later here he comes looking for me, he said he was looking all over for me and for me to get my camera. He even said her name is Leann right. I did not even know that I told him her name. He not only did this, but he was willing to do whatever, and however many times it would take. It only took one time. God Bless Him!!

This was Myron Cope on Life.

Gary Henry , Carnegie, PA

Myron was the most unique Pro Football radio broadcaster ever, in my opinion. He had such a passion and genuine love for the Steelers and his hometown—you could virtually feel his emotion during every game he broadcasted. His humorous side also made him very genuine in his approach to his work and life in general. He will be missed, but his legacy will definite live on.

B. Kefover, Uniontown, PA.

It is times like this when we know the true meaning of the STEELER NATION. It is not only for the love of the team, but the love of Pittsburgh itself and all who have made this city our home for all or part of our lives. Pittsburghers have that special bond, and true care for one another. Those of us who grew up turning the TV down and turning up Myron will always have that voice in our head. And anytime we do see a big play, the YOI ! will never be forgotten.

Jerry Radebaugh, Youngwood, PA

Short and sweet, Myron Cope was the man!!!! The people of Pittsburgh and the surrounding area's loved him, but God loved Myron more!!!!

Simeon C.McClain Sr., Jeannette Pa. 15644

It's like you lost a member of your family! Myron was not only the voice of the Steelers but the voice of the Burgh! When he retired it was rough but you knew he would comment on the team and how they played. He was like your GranDad, you learned alot from him and you knew he would be there for questions, wisdom and guidance. Myron we will miss you. God speed.

Well, growing up listening to Myron instead of the television with my parents back in the 70’s was always interesting. My parents had season tickets and many Sundays we stayed home with my Grandparents. Back then I did not understand why my Father called Myron every evening on his talk show. My Father was named The Munhall Flash by Myron. The story goes like this Myron asked my Father to come up with a gimmick before the Monday night football game against the Cincinnati . So my Father told Myron that everyone should bring a flashlight to the game on Monday night . Myron thought it was a wonderful idea. And that’s exactly what happened on that Monday night. Then the next day, of course, my Father called Myron on the talk show . That’s when Myron named my Father a Cop-a-nut and deemed him the MUNHALL FLASH. From that day on my Father was the all special Munhall Flash. Our family and all Pittsburgh families will mourn his death today and always. He was a very special man and will be sadly missed by all of Pittsburgh.

In 1981 Myron pulled my name from a Stop n Go contest and I won a brand new Mustang. I sent him a thank you note and he took the time to respond and sent me a very nice letter which has always had a special place in my scrapbook. He certainly was the voice of Pittsburgh.

Joyce

Wow what a sad day for the city of Pittsburgh, I grew up there in the 70’s and 80’s watching the game on the television with sound turned down, and Myron Cope, Jack Fleming, and Bill Hillgrove blaring out of the radio speakers. Joined the Navy and left about 23 years ago and have lived in the Seattle area, but haven’t watched a game, or a highlite reel of the Steelers and the terrible towel without a chuckle to myself about how much I miss watching the game with my dad and listening to the voice and antics of Myron Cope. He is and will continue to be a Pittsburgh legend, please pass my condolences to the Cope family for I know he will be sorely missed.

Craig, Oak Harbor, Wa

We have lost our studda jedo meaning our Grand father of Pittsburgh Pa and Steeler nation. He will live and speak thru every twirl of the towel

Chuck Modrey

I am deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Mr. Cope. The news brought a tear to my eye. Myron was as much a part of the Steelers organization as was or will be any executive, coach or player. He truly loved this team no matter whether they were in the midst of a dynasty or struggling to win four games in a season. Who could ever forget his Christmas carols at playoff time, his skit as Dr. Cope with the Coperascope shown weekly on channel 4 or his bantering back and forth with Tunch on the radio broadcasts that would leave Billy in stitches. Myron made Steelers football fun if you were not at the stadium. Every game day I would turn down the TV sound and turn on Myron and Jack Flemming or Bill Hillgrove. I met Myron several times at St. Vincent College during training camp and when you saw him all you had to was say “hey Myron how do they look” and he would stop and talk to you and give you his opinion of the team. It was a sad day when he had to retire from the broadcast booth but it pales in comparison to today. At least now we know that God in heaven has a new color man and his name is Myron Cope. I would like to suggest to the Steelers both front office and on field personnel that they dedicate this up coming season to the life and legacy that was Myron Cope. My condolences go out Myron’s family and friends he truly will be missed.

Ron Kerns Jr., Connellsville PA.

My condolences to the Cope Family and also my thanks. Thank you for the missed meals, missed family gatherings, delayed trips, long nights and early mornings. Thanks for everything you sacrificed so that Myron could be, well, Myron. There may be a strange silence now that he has passed, but his voice will forever ring in my ears with every play-by-play of a Steeler game. My Terrible Towel will hang at half-mast now, but I just wonder how many are waving in Heaven today. May we all follow his example and take his life as inspiration.

Gregg Hendry, Barboursville, WV -- former West Mifflin resident

I remember my days as a student at St. Vincent College in Latrobe and for two summers (1990 and 1991) I was fortunate enough to work with the Steelers during training camp hosting receptions for various organizations who supported the Steelers. We would show the season's highlight film and afterwards serve drinks. Once during a special luncheon, I was preparing to run the highlight film (reel-to-reel projector even in the 90's!) when Joe Gordon came in with Myron Cope. As a young co-ed, I was flustered because Mr. Cope was a celebrity. When I was introduced to him, I was bumbling everything and he said in that oh-so-famous voice, "Take it easy, take it easy. What's the matter? Haven't you ever met a sex symbol before?" I was very embarrassed, and laughing uncontrollably, but we shook hands and he was just such a nice guy. It is a sad time, the end of an era, really, and I am just glad that I had a chance to meet Mr. Cope.

Myron will be missed!! My license plate reads: TRPL YOI. I tried to get Double Yoi, but it was taken. Now, when a new Pittsburgher asks me what it means, I will have a story to tell! How great it was to grow up Listening to Myron on the radio, while turning down the tv volume! He will NEVER be forgotten!

Since we can't lower the flag, I think as a tribute to Myron everyone in Pittsburgh should "fly" a Terrible Towel.

sincerely, Annette DiDiano

How we will miss that "voice"! I remmember I never "listened" to the TV coverage of Stleers football. The radio HAD to be on so I could here that voice! All I can say is we will ALL miss hearing YOI!

Rene from Latrobe

We will miss you Myron, thanks for the memories and for keeping us all together. Thanks for everything you have done for the city of Pittsburgh... You will be sorely missed.

Alice Teeters

YOI AND DOUBLE YOI !!!!! Thank You for the memories and God Bless him. We will surely miss him!

The Gniadek family

In honor of Myron Cope, the "Terrible Towel" has been flying high over Pittsburgh today. I couldn't think of anyway to fly it higher than to take it to work today. He will be terribly missed, and I can only thank him for those great memories of our family car rides on Sundays growing up listening to our black and gold. Thank you Myron!

I grew up listening to myron cope and the terrible towel now i moved to myrtle beach sc and all the people at the pittsburgh bars here still use there terrible towel doing every steeler game.

John from Myrtle beach

"It's A Double Yoi day For Pittsburgh" As A Kid, I Was Terrified Of Myron And His Voice. When Ever Bill Hillgrove Came On For Sports On WTAE-TV, That Was My Signal To Run Into My Room And Hide. Just The Way He Said Everything Scared Me. But A Few Years Later, I heard Him On The Radio During a Steeler Game and Started To laugh. The Way He said it that time sounded So funny. Over The Years, I Began to Savor every moment and Was Thrilled To Hear His Voice. But, The Biggest Memory I Have Of Myron Is When He Attended A Special Dinner For St. Anthony School Programs. I Walked Into The Hall Just in Time To See Him Walk In. Moments Later, I Was Able To Get A Picture With Him. That Moment Will Always Be In My heart. MYRON, WE ALL LOVE YOU AND WE WILL ALL MISS YOU VERY MUCH!

TJ - AVONMORE

I remember myron bringing out the terrible towel when i lived there.We all still use it here in myrtle beach sc and always will.He will be missed.

John

Myron was to Pittsburgh Steelers as Fred Rogers was to children. Both where unselfish giving and so impacted our lives! He will be missed!

Cyril (Cy-the Dent Guy) McCracken

Myron was a Pittsburgh classic, and original, as one of a kind as the Terrible Towel he created, there is only ONE towel. Myron will be sadly, sorely missed by every Steeler fan in Steeler Nation, but he will never be forgotten, he will be honored and remembered every time you see someone wave one of those Terrible Towels, we'll all know that Myron is calling Steeler games in Heaven. Myron, we miss you, we will miss your "yoi and double yoi's" we will miss your writing, and most of all we will miss your heart, a heart so big that you gave of yourself not just to Steeler Nation, but to a school that will benefit forever from the gift you gave them. God Bless you Myron, you're now with your beloved Wife, but the rest of your family, including those of us in Steeler Nation mourn your loss, you were a true original, a one of a kind, you were the ultimate voice of the Steelers.

The Parks Family

It is a sad day today with the news of Myron passing. It's like a relative has passed. I remember asking my Father who is that guy on TV that talks like that and he told me "Myron Cope". He will be missed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Linda Dillard! P.S. I heard about his Son when I delivered Meds. to AVS. It made me proud to know that I was giving something back to Myron for all he did for sports in Pittsburgh.

I have lived in Las Vegas for the past 16 years but have never forgotten my Arnold, PA roots. I follow my beloved Steelers and I watch them every single Sunday. I loved listening to Myron Cope who made the game great even if our Steelers were not doing well. I never missed a home game when I lived back in the “Burgh.” I and my family will fly our Steeler flag and most importantly our “Terrible Towel” at half staff. My prayers go out to the Cope family, Myron was the Ultimate Steeler. Thank You Myron for many, many years of Broadcast Excellence.

Rocco Palochik, Steeler in Las Vegas

When I got on your website today, I was so sad to see that Myron Cope had passed away. I have been a Steelers fan for the past 51 years and remember, fondly, the voice of the Steelers -- Myron Cope. I used to just laugh at how he told it like it was -- whether the team was doing good or bad -- it didn't matter. The tribute you have on your website to him is wonderful. For anyone who is a Steelers fan, it is sure to bring tears to their eyes. Well done!!

Donna Dougherty, formerly of Etna, PA

My Steeler flag is at half mast on my flagpole in front of my house in tribute to Myron Cope. Pittsburgh has been so blessed to have had Myron. I'll miss him.

Gary Stewart

Our hearts ache at hearing of Myron's death today. Like so many within earshot of the Steelers' radio broadcasts, our house tuned in to hear Myron as we watched the games on tv for many years. Since our youngest son had married and moved out of state, he would often miss hearing the "local" comments, and one day in particular I remember him calling home during a game that was not going too good. "What's going on", he asked us, and when we started to give our opinions, he interrupted and said "No, what is Myron saying about this". It hasn't been the same since Myron left the broadcast booth, but we'll remember him fondly and bring out our terrible towels and the Myron Cope bobble head doll and thank God for him being part of our lives. I've taken his book, Double Yoi, off the shelf and look at his autograph thru the tears in my eyes. What a gift he is to all of us. We wish his children peace and comfort. Thank you Myron, rest in peace.

Ron & Sally James, Pittsburgh

I am truly saddened that Myron died. I was in school, then when I came on thepittsburghchannel.com, I was deeply saddened. When my dad was always screaming during games, and I could always hear his voice in the distance. God bring you home, Rest in Peace Myron.

A saddened fan, Zach, Beaver County

Myron will be missed by a lot of people. We would listen to him all the time. Our prayers go out to your family. He was a very good sports caster.

From j.g and m.r from everson, pa.

How incredible - the Terrible Towel, the Green Weenie, the Babushka - all from Pittsburgh broadcasters. What a great time to be a Pittsburgh fan (70s). I surely have NONE of that in Atlanta, GA. Even the Braves' announcers - who really have had something to cheer about - are forgettable. How incredible were Myron Cope and Bob Prince? Beyond great!

Larry Harton
Newnan, GA

Between Mr Cope, my mom yelling, and a blackout game that included a play now named "The Immaculate Reception" began my passion for football. I was 11 years old at the time I am now 46 years of age, but I can recall where I was (in our family living room) and hearing my mom yelling and my dad shouting from the kitchen, and as I run in the kitchen, I see them both huddled around the radio listening to the game. As a ten year old I wondered, "what in the world would get my parents this excited ---more than the Whip at West View park or the Thunderbolt at Kennywood?" And listening to a irritating voice announce later on about this so called "immaculate reception" started my so called "addiction" or love of the game of football. Since that day, I know that I could depend on Myron Cope to give me the details of Pittsburgh Steeler football for years, with a passion like none other. When Mr Cope came out with that "Terrible Towel", my college friends laughed at us from Pittsburgh, but unknown to them then, this towel would be the rally call for all of us in the Steeler nation. And it, along with the infamous Myron Cope, would go down as the greatest announcer in sports history. The NFL is indebted to Myron Cope......I know I am. Thank you for the memories , Mr Cope

Myron was a Pittsburgh Legend. I'm sure he and Bob Prince are having a great conversation now.

Bobbi Taylor, New Castle, PA

steeler nation - clarksville tennessee - is saddened bye the news of myrons passing - god bless you and ur family -ur memory will live on with the terrible towel - ty myron and u will be missed

Listening to you on the radio while watching the game on TV - Great times I will always remember!Carry on Myron, you will be missed!

Paul (transplant Steeler Fan In Jax, FL)

It was sad enough when we had to reluctantly give up the voice behind a Pittsburgh Steelers football game. Now to know we have to give up the presence of the man behind that voice is devastating. Steelers Nation will certainly never be the same again. Thank you Myron for the many years of memories you have given us so that we will never be without your energy and devotion. You are a Pittsburgh Legend.

About 20 years ago, my four-year-old son and I were waiting to get autographs after a Pirate game. We were talking to Lanny Frattare when Myron walked over and joined the conversation. My son pulled on Myron's shirt and said, "Mister -- you talk funny." I was a little embarassed -- but Myron just said, "That's what they pay me for!" He stood and talked to my son and called him "little buddy". What a nice man he was to take the time to talk to a four-year-old. Myron - you were one in a million!

Some time ago, at my husband’s insistence, I called Myron’s talk show with an idea for Rod Woodson being used in the goal line offense. He liked my idea, called me “Little Lady” and awarded me the cherished “Copanut” award. What joy Myron Cope as given the “City of Champions”

Jill Schrott, Hilton Head Island, SC

Myron was the definition of being a class act. Unlike some of today’s radio sports talk radio broadcasters, I never worried about what Myron might be saying when my children were in the car or listening to Myron on the radio. He was everything a broadcaster should be in terms of being knowledgeable, fun to hear, inventive, honest, respectful and able to agree or disagree courteously with his callers. Myron worked with and mentored other class acts such as Stan Savran, Bill Hillgrove, Alby Oxenwriter, Guy Junker and to a lesser degree Craig Wolfley and Tunch Ilkin, who I’m sure will carry on his legacy. It’s truly a sad day in Pittsburgh. A legend and an era has passed.

Paul

Once described as Mickey Mouse with a gangster's voice by Jack Tatum, I learned first-hand how magnetic Myron's personality could be. Following the birth of my daughter, my wife started her Internal Medicine residency at AGH. This provided me lots of quality time with daughter Ingrid who was 8-months old at the time. After feeding her, I would often put her in her rocker swing while I ate my dinner and watched the news on WTAE. Whenever Myron came on to do his commentary, my daughter would immediately turn toward his image and start smiling from ear to ear. I videotaped the Myron effect and sent it to him and he crafted a wonderful commentary around it which demonstrated his great creativity. Although my daughter has outgrown her first crush (thankfully), the whole family mourns the passing of this great Pittsburgh icon.

Regards, Mike Godfrey

I remember Myron as a loud somewhat flamboyant character on the radio during Steeler games, my Dad and I would turn down the sound on the TV and listen to Myrons antics on the radio, Thank God the NFL had the brains to induct him into the Hall-of-Fame, the smartest thing the NFL has ever done. He will be sadly missed by the Steeler nation and this citizen will never forget him. His famous line at the end of his sports commentary "This is Myron Cope on Sports" is something that no one will ever be able to copy or duplicate, farwell Myron,

God speed Brad Willard

I can still hear Myron singing "Deck the Broncos, they're just Yonkos" followed by the unusual was he sang fa la la la la. My sons could imitate him as soon as they could talk. Will miss you Myron! May God rest your soul in heaven.

Myron will forever remain a PITTSBURGH icon and will be truly missed. Let’s bring home a winner for the 2009 season in dedication of his memory –

Kim from PITTSBURGH

Myron was a true gift to the city of Pittsburgh. It’s hard losing such a treasure who represented us and made us proud! Double and triple Yoi!

I am so sorry to hear of myron's passing. My father worked with Myron at WTAE for many years- he was the Irish Phantom back in the 70's who left Myron the Irish Cocnut on his desk at WTAE radio. My father had the greatest respect for Myron like so many others! May they both rest in peace! The Irish Phantoms daughter

Michelle Rende (Finley)

One of my favorite memories of Myron was on his sports segment, sometimes he would bring out the Coperscope, and wearing the labcoat, would look in the Coperscope to analyze the Steelers' next opponent.

Bill

The way that i remember him was when i was younger and we would be watching the steelers with my grandpap, he would mute the TV and turn on the radio. He would also just lay in his bed with his radieo up by his ear and we would lay in bed and listen to the steelers play with Myron.

Myron Cope. Bob Prince. Mike Lange. Pittsburgh has had some of the greatest sports announcers/personalities of all time.

Myron Cope inspired many people during his life. Including me, I am only 16 and know that sports broadcasting is what I want to do for the rest of my life. There were many times where I was watching the Steelers and would turn down the volume on the TV and listen to Cope on the radio. Myron never tried to sugarcoat things he told you how it was, and on radio that's what its all about painting a picture for everyone listening. Myron did more then that he brought a city together with a voice and yellow towel. If that dose not deserve a double yoi, I don't know what does.

-Matt Farago

A long time listener and a couple time caller---I grew up listening to Cope and turning the sound down on the TV to listen to him and Jack or him and Billy. What a treat he was as he bled black and gold like only someone born and raised in our town could. I'm sure that many have fond memories of him but I remember seeing Myron out for dinner one night at Dimperio's in Monroeville before a playoff game in the 70s. He was charged up and all I could think was that I hoped our Stillers were just as fired up as he was. Today will be remember in Steeler history just as December 23rd. As a tribute the "terrible towel" will be on my TV set for the next couple of days as my tribute to the leader of the Steeler Nation. Yoi and Double yoi to you Myron

Bob
West Mifflin, Pa

This is a very sad day for Steeler Family! We can all take a lesson from the way Myron lived his life. Live with passion, not passively. Love by generosity, not by words but deeds. And most importantly, always give your all!! We'll miss you Myron and never forget your many contributions for which you never wanted credit. God needed an experienced broadcaster up in heaven and he made a great choice. RIP and condolences to the family.

Pittsburgh now has it's own angel and his name is Myron.

“This is Myron Cope, on Spppports!” Myron was the driving force behind the formation of the Steeler Nation. He will always be a part of the Steeler Nation, no doubt forming a new towel-twirling group of Steeler fans as we speak. Blessings, Myron. We love you.

Reem

Myron had the best sports talk show in Pittsburgh, ever. That current loudmouth on 1250 ESPN sports couldn't hold a candle to Myron in his prime. You were loved Myron. Rest in peace.

Mike

Myron Cope is Pittsburgh and was the ONLY reason I became a Steeler fan. Sadly gone is the "Yoi" and "Double Yoi" , the "Copra-Scope", and "The Copra Cabanna. But the "Terrible Towel" still flies high! I feel sure that Myron is now in good hands with "Rosey"-(Rosewell), "Bob"-(Prince), and "Paul"-(Long) showing him around the new lockeroom.

Roy Goshorn, Bellwood, PA.

Terrible Towel - $5. Case of Iron City - $17.99. Myron Cope's voice - PRICELESS.

C L Hedrick

I JUST HAD TO SAY MY HUSBAND & I ALWAYS TURNED DOWN THE TV & LISTENED TO MYRON COPE ON RADIO. "PLEASE TELL BILLY HILGROVE TO STAY HEALTHY". HE IS WHAT KEEPS ME INTERESTED IN THE GAME, AS MY HUSBAND IS ALSO GONE NOW,BILLY MAKES THE GAME EXCITING. THANK YOU ALL.

MARY TORMA

My memories of Myron Cope are much more than "Myron Cope on Sports". To me, he was "Myron Cope on" hometown pride, "Myron Cope on" loyalty, "Myron Cope on" goofiness, "Myron Cope on" fun. What a treasured memory of my childhood, my Dad turning the TV all the way down and the radio up to listen to what we knew was a comfortable and familiar "Pittsburgh" voice guiding us through the game. I hope he knew how much we, Pittsburgh, loved him.

Amy

Growing up in the area, his voice never bothered me. To me he was the voice of the Steeler Nation. I didn't know any better. Believe me though when he retired, there was a difference. I still listen all the time. .I miss listening to him being crazy, But I must say, as long as those towels are waving in the air, Myron Cope will forever be alive. Rest in Peace Myron.. You will forever be missed.

Plus I must say thank you to you WTAE for the live broadcast online. I was able to watch Art Rooney on there just a little bit ago. It was nice seeing a little bit of home clear out in California! I miss you just as much. We have lived a lot of places in this country and I must tell you there is NO OTHER news cast like WTAE anywhere.. You are truely the very best!!

Tiffany Smith
Camp Pendleton, California

When I was a kid it was Paul Long, Don Cannon, Joe DeNardo, and Myron Cope who visited me and my family every evening bringing us the news through that TV set we had that looked more like a piece of furniture. I remember Paul Long's soulful voice, Don Cannon's serious tone, Joe Denardo's resonance, and Myron Cope's animated screeching. I can still recall images from my memories of him with a big wad of chewing tobacco in his mouth while on camera in the studio preaching to the other rabid Pittsburgh sports fans.

Out of state friends and family would ask me who that guy was on the radio announcing the Steeler game. I told them that he is an icon of Pittsburgh. His name is Myron Cope, and he IS Pittsburgh.

Thanks Myron for making Pittsburgh more than just another town. I do hope that we continue your legacy.

Cody S. Alderson

From SW VA, where we wave the Terrible Towel with pride, our condolences to the very large Cope family that includes so many of us readers, and radio and TV listeners, who have, over the years, been appraised of all things Steeler through the melodious and dulcet tones of Mr. Cope. Sympathies to his immediate family and friends, and I am particularly remembering Bill Hillgrove, because of the friendship they have shared as colleagues, and because Bill is just such a fine man...with integrity and so approachable.

My time as a Steeler fan dates to the days of John Henry Johnson, Dick Hoak, Big Daddy Lipscomb and their contemporaries. I have heard some fine announcers ring the joys and frets of Steeler fortunes over the airwaves, but my favorites are Myron and Bill. So Myron's vicissitudes are ended, and by faith I pray he enjoys a shalom we all desire. Let the memories remain especially fond and strong. Yoi, and double yoi.

Rev. Dennis J. Hoffman

in honor of myron cope,,i think people should how much he meantto us in pgh,by flying the terriable towel on our anennas of our cars--we are,,and we will miss him so very much.

dorothy dudley, north braddock,pa

Goodbye Myron, you will never be forgotten. Your casket should be draped with a large Terrible Towel. Thanks for all the great years and memories. God Bless

Ron Hartzell

The Steelers should change the name of their mascot to, "IRON MYRON" in honor of Myron Cope...

THE voice of the Steelers … you WILL be missed!!!!! Hope you have some pull with the Big Guy Upstairs.

Regards, Connie Hamilton

Myron will be missed by all who recognized his distinct voice. He could take a small aspect of a sports story and make it interesting and meaningful. One of the reasons Myron was loved so much was because he color analyzed the Steeler games as a FAN and not solely as a commentator.

Howie Patrick
Forest Hills, PA

How blessed We STEELER fans were to have Myron. Yoi, Double Yoi, we will always remember the Voice of The STEELERS. A tear slides down my cheek as I wave my Terrible Towel and say Goodbye to a Dear Pittsburgh Friend. Thank you

I'm just heartbroken....the Steeler Nation has lost a GREAT friend! My favorite memory of Myron Cope is from the early 90's when he did the music video to MC Hammer's 'You Can't Touch This' as a tribute to the Pirates. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Mia
St. Marys, GA

Myron was Pittsburgh, he loved this city and everything it represented. He thrived off of the people and their love for this city and its teams. He knew how to always make us feel like we always had something in common, even if it was just waving a towel. That man should be carried through the streets of the city and given the funeral of a king. Thank you for the memories Cope, enjoy watching from up high in the booth.

Michael Cellurale

Fans across the globe are greatly saddened in hearing of Myron's passing. Growing up in the Pittsburgh area Myron Cope was more than a sports announcer he was woven into every Pittsburgh sportsfan's heart. Myron was family, tonight a grateful Steeler Nation remembers it's greatest ambassodor for all he has done for the fans, the Steelers and most of all Pittsburgh.

Goodbye Myron you will be missed!

I'm sadden, as are all Pittsburghers by the news of Myron Cope's death. I have to relate a funny story. I still have a a voicemail message that Myron left me on my office phone a few years ago. It begins, "This is Myron…M-Y-R-O-N,…Cope…C-O-P-E…" I had to laugh because he felt the need to spell out his name. Now what true Pittsburgher wouldn't have recognized that voice with the very first syllable! We were indeed privileged to have Myron in our community. After him, G-d broke the mold.

Harold Marcus

Everybody should put their terrible towels in their windows!!!!!

Rebecca Coyne

The best was to turn the Steelers on and then turn the sound off then listen to Myron Him Haw through the game! He put the Yellow and Black in the Steelers! HE WAS THE BEST OF THE BEST! THIS WEEK DISPLAY YOUR SHIRTS ,TERRIBLE TOWELS IN HONOR OF MYRON!

Arny
Cooperstown Pa.

I grew up listening to Myron. I found him to be clever, creative and very knowledgeable about sports. I learned more from him by listening to his radio talk show than I learned from any other source. I could always keep up with everyone in sports talk conversations because of all that Myron taught me. He has been missed in the Steelers booth the past several years and will be forever missed by his many fans.

Sharon

He was Pittsburgh sports...the voice ..the words ...you could be anywhere on this earth and you well find people that have heard Myron Cope ...there well never be a sports personality in Pittsburgh history that well fill his absence ...

Bob Grinder

Every Steeler game my father would watch, He would turn the TV down and crank on the radio with Mr. Cope. My father listened to him so much that he began to say Yoi and double Yoi all the time!! The world has lost a real special person. God bless Myron.. Rest in peace..

Ron
Greensburg

Oh that voice... It used to drive me crazy, but not hearing Myron's voice during the Steelers games, well it was like the something was missing. Myron was just as much an important part of the Pittsburgh Steelers as the players themselves. The Black and Gold has lost a piece of their heart and soul. He will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by many!

I think everybody who loved Myron should hang their Terrible Towel in their windows in memory of him. Our family would always turn the volume down on the T.V. just to listen to his voice on the radio, during the Steeler games, he was one of a kind. We love you Myron!

Karen Laffoon

being 28 now, i remember growing up a steelers fan, my dad would always turn down the audio on the tv, and turn on the radio to provide myron's commentary. my dad really got me into him at a young age, the same for steelers football. the late art rooney i belive gave my dad season tickets, since his dad was friends with him, as he was a city policeman at the time. i remember few years back my dad at the opportunity to meet myron at his summer place in conneaut lake, along with commentator bill hillgrove, as my dad worked with bills brother at bell telephone. he said everything u hear about him is true, he was extremely funny, nice, and love the world of sports. u will be missed myron.

Lisa M Sypien

“Myron Cope on Sports” I listen to his radio show on WTAE in the Seventies and became an honorary member of “The Cope in Nuts” as the “New Castle Hurricane”. My best experience was actually getting to meet him in a press elevator @ 3 Rivers Stadium a “double yoi” for me. Nobody comes close to MYRON COPE ON SPORTS!

Robert Latsko
Layghlin,Nevada

I've been a huge Steeler fan all my life. I remember watching the news with my dad when I was little and seeing Myron. I would go around the house saying "This is Myron Cope on sports", making my dad laugh. I'm truly saddened by his passing. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

If you were a Steelers Fan back in those wonderful days of the Seventies, you listened to Myron, on the radio, not the TV. Every year since I bought my very first Terrible Towel, I bring it out and watch the Steelers game, waving our Terrible towels with every Touchdown.Our towels will be cherished just as Myron will be from this day on! We will miss you , Myron, for there will never be another radio announcer for the Steelers like you!

Karen, Elizabeth, Pa.

Even the most seasoned broadcast journalist will admit that great broadcasting starts with great writting. That's why, despite his voice, broadcasting was easy for Myron Cope. To appreciate him is to first read his writing. His home spun stories are so like the great WWII War correspondent Ernie Pyle. I have collected a few volumes of a sports anthology known as Best Sports Stories. In their 1961 edition is a story by Myron entitled Unpredictable All-American. It is about a college basketball star from Cabin Creek, West Virginia - the Great Jerry West. At one of his book signings, I took the anthology with me, unnecessarily hoping that Myron would sign the page where the story began. (I knew he would sign. He was always so gracious in public.) Here is a story about an eventual basketball legend that he penned - a finalist in a national sportswriting competition - and when I showed it to him, he had forgotten that he had written it! God Bless you Myron!

Bob Bukk

I just wanted to tell you how my whole family loved Myron Cope and that he will deeply be missed. My children are grown & out of state, but they will never forget Myron Cope, The Terrible Towel, and where they came from. God Bless you Myron.

Roberta Petro

I know this was a very difficult noon broadcast for all of you, and my sympathies go to all of you on this sad day. We all loved Myron, and will miss him terribly. I could not help but notice the audio problems during the noon broadcast, but I have to tell you a smile came across my face as I thought "Myron"...his last hit of humor to all of you even after his passing! God bless all of you and many prayers for the loss to your family.

Sincerely, Deborah

WE HAVE AN ACHE IN OUR HEARTS TODAY, WE WILL DEFINITELY MISS MYRON. GOD HAS HIM IN HIS KEEPING, WE HAVE HIM IN OUR HEARTS.

Display your "Terrible Towel" in honor of Myron !

Myron was definitely one of a kind, a person that no one could ever replicate. My parents did what a lot of Steeler fans did during the games....turn down the volume on the television and turned on the radio to hear Myron .....the voice of the Steelers. His passion for life and the loyalty that he demonstrated towards the city of Pittsburgh will long be remembered. Thank you Myron!

Jayme

Myron was famous for a lot of sayings. Lets not forget that he coined the nickname for "Slash"(Kordell Stewart) and "The Bus" (Jerome Bettis). Watching football will never be the same.

Dave

Personally I was very saddened to hear the passing of Myron. He is truly a Pittsburgh legacy. I miss and will always miss him broadcasting the Steeler games. While Bill Hillgrove does an excellent job, it’s still not Myron. I’ll never forget his voice or the Terrible Towel, which he introduced, and the many quirky comments he used to do doing live Steeler broadcasts.

As a thought, I think every Steeler fan should bring their terrible towels to work, school, or wherever they will be that day to Waive their Terrible Towel at High Noon on the day of his burial in Myron’s honor. I think that would be an awesome tribute to such a dedicated Pittsburgh man.

To his family, friends and former co-workers, please accept my deepest sympathies. Please note that he is in a better place and remember that God only takes the best!! May he rest in peace. I’m sure he is looking down upon us and Waiving his Terrible Towel in heaven.

Kind regards,
Susan

I remember growing up hearing Myron on the radio, I will always rember his voice. Myron is to the Steelers and radio as was Dale Earnhardt was to NASCAR, a true legend. He will be missed, our thoughts and prayers are with the Cope and Steeler families. Good bye my old friend!

Mark from Seneca, PA

When my husband and I first got married in 1974, it seemed like anytime we were going out in the evening I would have to listen to this radio commentator who's voice was like someone scratching their finger nail on a black board. I soon learned his name was Myron Cope and also that my husband loved this guy more then he cared how annoyed I would get. I can't remember how much time had passed , but I too ended up loving this man and his voice. After Myron retired we had the opportunity to attend a personal appearance that Myron made in Legioneer…it was great, as was he. He will always be admired and loved by his Pittsburgh fans!

Karen L Piatek

I believe that Myron Cope was a personal friend of mine. When I was raising my two oldest boys my husband went to all the home games. I would listen to the radio and absolutely fell in love with Myron's voice - I could actually see the plays taking place! I followed Myron all the way to his last day on the Radio….I would literally stand in my kitchen with my elbows on the countertop holding my head up when the Steelers got in a tight situation and yell at the radio - come on Myron - pull this one out!

What a guy - he's a true double-yoi in my book and heart! Pittsburgh will certainly miss him.

Ann Lovell

My wife used to be the assistant manager for an exclusive golf club and they had a Kent Tekulvey (sp) golf outing. There were many Pittsburgh celebrities and sports figures. My wife called me and rattled off all of the names and asked whose autograph I wanted. I told her the only one I wanted was Myron Cope. She told him what I said and he replied, in that distinctive accent, "Your husband is a man of impeccable taste".

It's a shock to see Myron gone. I saw it on a quick blurb in the gym this morning. I felt a chill run down my spine. He was such a part of the Steelers broadcast for so long. It saddens me some but for someone who has touched as many lives as Myron did, he'll live forever in the hearts and minds of Steeler fans everywhere.

I am so sad to hear of Myron's passing. I still miss hearing his play by play. We keep his legacy going by texting yoi, double yoi, etc. while watching the Steelers play. May he rest in peace.

Rhonda Craft

Rest In Peace, Myron -- you simply have no equal. It is a very sad day in the city of Pittsburgh. We will always love you!

Doug Hull

His Voice was the Voice of the Steelers……It was the most rarest of sounds when something exciting was happening, at times you didn’t know what he was saying but you know how excited you were and he was, and the Steelers has lost a legend, a man , a voice, a Steeler………he could never be replaced. May the Steel city always remember the great times and the superbowl wins of the voice that did it all. Mr cope and the Steel city.

Patrick K. Himes

I WILL MISS YOU MYRON. I STILL TURN DOWN THE SOUND WHEN WE WATCH OUR STEELERS PLAY, BUT.......IT HASN'T NOR WILL IT EVER BE QUITE THE SAME SINCE MYRONS SWEET CRACKLY VOICE LEFT THE AIR. I LIVE IN WEST VIRGINIA NOW BUT I WILL BE PUTTING MY TERRIBLE TOWEL IN MY FRONT WINDOW TONIGHT. GOD BLESS MY MYRON.

In reading about Myron Cope's passing this morning, I had the goosebumps. I never met the man, but I have such fond childhood memories of his distinguished voice. Namely, I recall sitting in the backseat of my dad's yellow Volkswagen Rabbit with my brother and sister, laughing hysterically at the sound of Myron's silly voice. Just the mere mention of his name puts a smile on my face today, and helps me to remember those days when we listened to him and laughed for hour upon endless hour as children. Pittsburgh should be so proud to be the home of such a reputable man who truly made his mark in radio and football history. His memory will forever live on in the hearts of many.

I think EVERYONE in the Pittsburgh Steeler Nation should PROUDLY display their TERRIBLE TOWEL with a black ribbon attached on their front doors in honor of Myron!!!!!!

Rose Zeffiro

Instead of flying the flags at half mass, as suggested by Bill Hillgrove, they should fly the terrible towel at half mass for this legend of broadcasting... his voice will always be in my mind whenever I listen to a Steeler's game.

Erik F. Novak

I think ALL Pittsburghers should wear their Steelers shirts and bring their terrible towels tomorrow

IF ANYTHING SHOULD BE FLOWN AT HALF SHAFT IT SHOULD BE A TERRIBLE TOWEL

RON MINOR

Who can forget Myron's yearly "Deck the Halls" Christmas song he did on Channel 4.. "That Earl Campbell, he could ramble, fugh fugh fugh, fugh fugh, fugh fugh... But there was so much more substance to this man. He was an accomplished Sports Writer for Sports Illustrated and was deeply involved with charitable organiztations to help disabled kids like his son, which is how the Terrible Towel started. Myron COPE was Pittsburgh and he will be greatly missed.

Icon. You don’t toss that word around offhandedly, but it truly described Myron, especially to us ‘Burghers. Fly the Terrible Towels at half-staff, display in them windows….I’m sure the Steelers will have a “Towel Wave” to honor Myron before home games.

I’ve been in the Air Force for 18 years and a die hard Steelers fan no matter where I was stationed. I remember growing up in Turtle Creek PA and watching the game with the sound off and having the radio on to listen to Myron Cope. A few years ago when I was home visiting I stopped in a Steelers Store and bought a t-shirt with “Copeisms” written on the back and explained to my boys and to my husband what each one meant. It’s not just a sad day in Pittsburgh but a sad day for every Steelers fan world wide. He will be missed..

JENNIFER DEL RAZO

I was so sad to hear about Myron. My dad had the pleasure of doing a celebrity golf outing with Myron. He was nothing but nice to everyone in my dads group. He didn’t get at all annoyed by my dad asking him questions. He enjoyed telling him stories. I remember when I went to his book signing and he was so nice to me. I will also never forget going to the Steelers game they honored Myron. It was so emotional everyone waving there towels in his honor. Also I will never forget muting the TV and listening to Bill and him on the radio with my dad. He truly was a great guy and will be missed.

Vicky Pearson, Oakdale

There is a big battle brewing in heaven right now. Who is going to cover the "Sports of Heaven" Bill Currie or Myron Cope?

He was more than his sign off moniker, "This is Myron Cope on Sports", He was "Myron Cope on Life". I enjoyed his reports during my years at Clarion University (1980-1985).

Stuart Greenberg
Chapel Hill, North Carolina

I'm only in my mid-twenties, so I wasn't around for most of Myron's career, but the last few years he was on the air I loved listening to him commentate the Steeler's games. Beside his famous "Yoi" I also remember him calling the Bengals the "Bagels", during the whole game a few years ago, it still makes me smile when I think about it. This is a sad day for Pittsburgh and he will be dearly missed!

It is a sad day in the steelers nation to lose a great legend, but his momery will live long and proud with each Terrible Towel that is waved. I am sadden that my children will not grow up to hear the voice that meant there is a game on tonight as I did. Peace Be With You Myron!!

Myron Cope was truly a man dedicated to the City of Pittsburgh, particually the Steelers organization. I never had the opportunity to meet Myron, but I did meet his colleague Tunch Ilkin when he came on a visit to our High School. My High School prinicipal, staff members, and students, told him how much I loved the Steelers, and about my great voice impersonation of Myron. Tucnh and I had a bet on who could impersonate Myron better. I won the bet! But It doesn't compare to the orginal, "distinct" voice Myron had. God Bless the Family, and Friends, and our beloved STEELERS nation.

QUALLAN HAWKINS

I moved to Pittsburgh on June 23, 1980 taking a job in Swissvale. I was just out of college and remember when I first heard Myron on the Radio. I was driving East on the Parkway east, just before Monroeville when I heard on the radio what I would consider the most awful announcer's voice I ever heard in my life. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. How could they let a guy like that on the radio! Yet, I sit here now in great sadness of what I would consider one of the greatest Icons of the Steelers and the City of Pittsburgh. Myron made me feel part of the Pittsburgh family. I never met him, but I always felt I had. God bless him!

John Skolits

p.s. As a side note, before the days of the internet radio, for my 1996 Super Bowl Party while living in the Philadelphia area, I had a friend wire a portable radio to his home phone in Pittsburgh while I connected my telephone line to my stereo at my home. I called him on the phone and for the next 3 hours listened to Myron call the game. That's how much I grew to love the guy and his 'awesome' radio voice!

I've been a fan of the Steelers since I was born in 1970 and Myron Cope was always a part of Steeler Football, even after his retirement a few years ago. 'Yoi' is a proper word to use if a person were to be asked how to describe the huge loss in one word because Yoi stands for something huge. I leave my Terrible Towel out all year long. I truly hope he has a Terrible Towel with him when he is laid to rest. Yoi…………….

Keith R. Pritts

I grew up with Myron Cope, he was like a member of my family. When he retired I was so disappointed because was one unique personality that could never be replaced. No matter what, his legacy will live on. May he rest in peace.

Becky Reagan

I had a very unique way of meeting Mr. Cope. I worked at a place several years ago that he would stop after he was on the WTAE news. We had some wonderful conversations, several times a week. Several years ago, I saw him outside of Heinz Field and he remembered me! Pittsburgh has truly lost an icon. I suggest we all hang our Terrible Towels in our windows as a last salute to a wonderful, generous, compassionate and brilliant man. He is with his beloved wife now, may he rest in peace with her, the Chief and Mr. Fleming! Colleen

Every native Pittsburgh will have a tear in their eye today as we remember the Myron.

Patricia MaKris

I feel like I have lost a member of my family. Myron will be sorely missed but always remembered fondly. All of Steeler Nation should be displaying their Terrible Towels in celebration of his colorful life. Yoi and Double Yoi!

Sue
Bethel Park

As soon as I heard the news, I ran to find my Terrible towel. I taped it up in my livingroom window like a banner, looking out into the street. So that all could see how much we will miss him and consider him to be one of our family. It's a way we could all memorialize him on his passing. As it meant to symbolize the team he loved, let it symbolize our love for him now.

Sandie Barbieri

It truly is a very sad day for all present and past Pittsburghers. I don’t think anyone can hear or say “Yoi and double Yoi” without getting a big smile on their face. As a Pittsburgh native, the Steelers and Myron are synonymous. It is a very sad day, but let’s remember all of the good times Myron gave to us – and be thankful that we had him to take us through the highs and lows of our favorite team. God Bless You Myron – you’ll be missed.

I had the great opportunity of working with Mr. Cope over the years. He was a great person and always greated you with a smile on his face. He truly loved the Steelers and their fans. He always made time at the end of his broadcasts to sign autographs and pose for pictures. The entire NFL has lost a legend and most importantly a good man! Rest in peace Myron

Dale "Smitty" Smith

One of the greatest Sports Commentators of all time. Myron will be missed but his legend will always stay. Just wave those Terrible Towels next season and Myron will have a big smile.

Keith D. Younger

I'm a radio producer living in Orlando, Fl. I grew up listening to Myron Cope every sunday on WDVE. Even that my work has taken me from my hometown of New Kensington Pa., I have never lost my love for the Steelers, or for Myron Cope. He was one of a kind. The best in the game. His shoes can never be filled, all we can do now is wait unitl we can be with him and hear him give a "triple yoi!!" at the Big Super Bowl in the sky. We love you Myron, you will be greatly missed. Thanks for all of the great times and thanks for our beloved towels

Bertaluchi

Yes, I smile when I think about Myron but my heart is so sad that he is gone. I think of the irony that Myron left us today, it's perfect Steeler football weather! The cold and snow; seeing the linemen's steamy breath as they step to the line and look like bulls ready for battle in their dirty and bloody jerseys. This is the fans' definition of REAL Steeler football weather. If I had the opportunity to say anything to Myron, It would be.... At first I was saying goodbye to you but then I realized... Everytime I see a Terrible Towel, I will be thinking and SEEING YOU!

Beth T

I used to work with Myron at channel 4 back in the mids 70's. I was working in research for the AM side, and I would be in my little cubby hole with 2 other co-worker's who did research for the FM side. Myron, Bill Hillgrove, Paul Long, and Joe Dernardo would come in for their evening work, and go to dinner at DREW'S resturant. But before they would go, Elaine (the receptionist) would call us and ask us if we wanted anything for dinner that the guys were going.... So we all ordered our same dinner, which just happened to be a salad. Drews made wonderful salad. It was just great, wonderful and really nice and that they would include all of us.... This was a regular thing with them, and I really appreciated the offer and their SINCEREITY..... I enjoyed talking with them as we ate our dinner... Super super nice man, and I'm really going to miss him.... Myron was a wonderful great human being.. I'm really glad I was able to meet him and spend some time with him as my job was cut short.... They discontinued research.... Thankyou very much Myron Cope....

I got Myron to autograph a copy of "Double Yoi" at Barnes & Noble in Greensburg; this was shortly after his throat surgery. My nephew, who was 12 at the time, and I raced into the store because the signing was almost over. No one was at his table, so Myron chatted with us for at least 10 minutes about his years with the Steelers. I was thrilled for my nephew, who is a sports guru, to have met Myron and to have heard, first-hand, the early stories of the Steelers captured in a way that only MYRON COPE could do! You'll always live on in our hearts, Myron! Thanks for the many memories!

Janice M. Sherry

I remember coming home from my friends house as a little girl, and my dad would have the Steelers Game on the television. He always had the volume turned down, and Myron on the radio! I can still hear him…YOI! DOUBLE YOI! He will truly be missed by all Pittsburghers and many people all over the world! We’ll miss you Myron!

Long live will you always be in Steeler Nation and always be remembered, as we wave your Terrible Towel. We have and we will miss you. Thank you for everything Lov Ya Myron

Gooch, Steeler Fan

we were all in our twenties... during the seventies... great steeler teams... and pirate teams for that matter.. but it did not get any better... then being at a party.. turning the sound down on the tv... and listening to fleming and cope... all these sports talk hosts... can talk all they want... how good they are... but they owe it all to myron... who paved the way for them... he created the pittsburgh sports talk base... i will miss him dearly

I can't begin to tell you how depressed I am on the death of Myron. Not only was he an inspiration growing up in the Pittsburgh area, he was a huge reason why I personally got into broadcasting. I will never forget working on my uncle's farm in the summers listening and watching to Myron and all the folks at WTAE radio and Channel 4. He and the others made all of us listening and watching feel like family. Myron Cope is one of the biggest reasons, the Steelers are so popular nationwide. We grew up with him, cheered with him, and when we moved away we never forgot him. I will miss Myron a lot!

I was at work when I heard about Myron. I remember sitting on the couch with my dad when I was younger listening to Myron on the radio. That brings back a lot of good memories. Myron will surely be missed by all of Pittsburgh. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

MYRON WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED AS A GREAT ANNOUNCER. HE IS THE EPITOMY OF A TRUE PITTSBURGHER.A PERSON LIKE THIS THAT CAPTURES YOUR EMOTIONS AND LOYALTY ONLY COMES AOUND ONCE IN A LIFETIME.

Dear Channel 4: Myron Cope was to me one of the best sports reporters I have ever seen and I was shocked to hear that he died today. When Mr. Cope worked as a sports writer for the post gazette, He used to work with my great-great- grandfather.

Even know I did not know Mr. Cope in person I still will respect him for all the great things he has done and I think that every one should too.

Thank you for your time

In my 20 year career with WTAE Radio and TV, Myron was always interested in my flying and traffic reporting. I along with many who spent time with Myron will miss him Neal Spence

He is in some of my fondest memories of that time and will always be part of them

My condolences to his friends and family. He will be missed but not forgotten.

Roger D. Whetzel Greensburg, PA

The Steelers are the only team in the NFL without cheerleaders. Well, we didn't need them because Myron Cope did more to boost morale and get the fans on their feet than 10,000 cheerleaders could.

My adult daughter and I are born-and-raised Pittsburghers who both now live in Chicago. I was at work this morning when I received a text message from her, and this is all it said:

Myron. :-(

Never has one word meant so much.
