Larry Brooks, Hockey’s Unforgettable Voice, Leaves Behind a Legacy Shrouded in Mystery at 75
He was 75. He leaves behind a son, Jordan, daughter-in-law, Joanna, and two grandchildren: 14-year-old Scott and 12-year old Reese. His wife, Janis, died in 2020.
“He was around the crease all the time,” said Dave Maloney, who broadcasts Rangers games for MSG TV and first met Brooks when he was a 19-year-old rookie defenseman for the team and Brooks was cutting his teeth at the Post. “He was a Hall of Famer at what he did and more often than not he tapped it in. On the journey to reach the crease he might get body checked and hit in the nose, maybe got his jaw broken. But he always got there.”
