He was my favorite announcer on the JP game or the week. He will be missed.

Re: Joe Dean, Sr. has passed away
A great loss for longtime SEC basketball fans. String music, stuffarino, and many other colloquial expressions by Joe once defined basketball in the SEC.
Thank you..and should it be Gods will, get the sound at heavens courts ready for us sir
I'd like to add that, as I think back on the man, he was a wealth of knowledge on the game itself. Much of our education as fans of college basketball was imparted by Joe.
It may be that we owe him more than we realize

Saddens me. Fond memories - I remember watching the Kentucky games growing up and hearing Joe Dean: "String Music in Lexington K Y".

I was never fond of Joe Deans calling style, in much the same ways as I don't like any announcer who feels the need to work his catch phrase in. That said, may he rest in peace. He will always be part of SEC basketball
