R.I.P.: NFL Bills Former Radio Voice Van Miller


Longtime Buffalo Bills radio broadcaster Van Miller died Friday, the team confirmed Saturday.

He was 87, according to ESPN.

Miller served as the Bills' play-by-play announcer from the team's inception in 1960 through 1970, and again from 1978 through 2003. He received the Pro Football Hall of Fame's Pete Rozelle Radio-Television Award in 2004.

"On behalf of Terry and Kim Pegula and everyone at One Bills Drive, we are all deeply saddened with the news of the passing of Van Miller," Bills president Russ Brandon said in a statement Saturday. "As the 'Voice of the Bills,' Van's historic radio calls of Bills games over the years will forever resonate with our fans. His Hall of Fame and Wall of Fame talent was overshadowed only by his engaging personality, his witty sense of humor and his love for the Bills.

Miller called 605 games during his 37-year career broadcasting for the Bills.
