Jack Whitaker, Hall of Fame broadcaster, whose career ranged from the first Super Bowl to Secretariat’s Triple Crown to short essays from major sporting events, died Sunday morning.

Whitaker died of natural causes in his sleep in Devon, Pennsylvania. He was 95.

He worked for ABC from 1982 in the news and sports divisions, and was part of the network’s Olympics coverage in 1984 and 1988.

Whitaker had been the only living play-by-play announcer from the first 21 Super Bowls.

CBS Sports chairman Sean McManus said Whitaker’s writing, presence on air, and humanity, were unmatched.
