I remember him doing the channel 9 telecasts of the F1 Grand Prix races in the 1980s.

He was great to listen to and the modern crop of motor sport commentators could still learn a thing or two from him.
Our sincerest condolences to his family and friends. Russ

Very sad... Besides F1, I clearly remember him on 3UZ doing his Hit Parade way back in the 60s. Unforgettable voice! RIP Sparksie
