You will be missed, Gary Papa

54-year-old ABC sports anchor Gary Papa has passed away today, after a five year battle with cancer. He had been reporting sports news in Philadelphia since 1981, and will be remembered as someone who brought immense joy to the newsroom, whether you were a sports fan or not. My heart goes out to his wife Kathy, and his two sons, Tucker and Nathaniel.

In his honor, the annual 5K Run 4 Your Life race will continue this Sunday as planned. Papa was the chairman of the organization in support of breast and prostate cancer research. There will be dozens of Papa's supporters participating in the race on the parkway this Sunday, and honestly, I cannot think of a more meaninful way for Philadelphians to spend Fathers Day.
