Don Chevrier, Rest in PeacePublished December 18, 2007 @ 13:17 in Celebrity Death Watch, Toronto Blue Jays
I haven't thought about Don Chevrier in a while but hearing this news makes me very sad. He was a fixture on Blue Jays telecasts from 1977 to 1997 and that means I spent many an afternoon and night listening to the man's voice while I watched the birds of summer. 6 Responses to "Don Chevrier, Rest in Peace"Mike (Buffalo Boy) You know those are the guys I remember seeing and hearing first when I first remember falling in love with the Jays. Late 80's early 90's Chevy and Tony Kubek and Fergie those guys were a great broadcast team on CTV and CBC....Very underrated and to me made watching the game exciting. Tony Kubek was a great color man. Toronto Mike I have great memories of Kubek - I always thought he was great. I understand he retired suddenly during the labour strife of '94. Chevy called a great game, too. In fact Chevy and Kubek were a fantastic duo. Next to Tom and Jerry and alongside Dan and Buck. We were blessed here in Toronto with some fantastic on-air crews. felix Yeah, back in the days before 150+ of the 162 were on TV, I longed for the CTV games with Chevy & Kubek. Definitely one of the definitive voices of the Blue Jays.

Awe, that's so sad!! Not Chev! It took along time to get used to not hearing him and Ferg on the telecasts.
