Default Bob Neumeier

Just read on a Boston Bruins message board that Bob Neumeier has suffered a stroke.

Hoping for a speedy and full recovery for Neumy.

I wish him well and hope that he can make a full recovery . Lets hope it was what is called a mini stroke or TIA and not a major one wich usally affect one side of the body. He is a wonderful guy, and knows his stuff and always upbeat and smiling. Get well Neumy !

This is terrible to hear. I hope it was just a mild stroke and Bob is able to recover.

I had a TIA in 2009. I sincerely hope that's what happened with Bob. Excellent broadcaster. Very nice man.

Best wishes to him and his family.

Didn't Bob Neumeier previously suffer a stroke (or some sort of fainting spell) in the paddock during a horse racing telecast (Kentucky Derby or BC)? Seems like it happened 2 or 3 years ago.
