One of a kind voice. Im from Detroit, but when my Auntie got Directv, I was glued to MSG. Heard him do many times and always enjoyed. RIP to him. 68 is too young.

There was a 2-3 year span in the 2000s where Trautwig was damn near at every NY sporting event. Very competent announcer despite having some of the worst teeth in the business.
Godspeed to him.
