There was a black cloud over the Meadowlands today because only bad things have happened. According to Giants.com, former Giant and radio analyst Dick Lynch passed away today at the age of 72. Lynch played for the Giants from 1959-66, a period in which the team played in four NFL Championship Games. Lynch played in 97 regular season games for the Giants (109 in his career) and intercepted 35 passes. In both 1961 and 1963, he led the NFL with nine interceptions. In ‘63, he also led the league with 251 return yards and three touchdowns. Lynch scored seven career touchdowns, four on interception returns and three on fumble returns. For 40 years, Lynch treated fans with his strategic insight, his sharp knowledge of football and his information about the Giants. He did it with a conversational style that suggested a man sitting in his living room with a group of friends watching the game.

Dick was such an important part of our organization for so many years that we really considered him part of the family. He was a true Giant as a player, a broadcaster and as a man. We will miss him dearly and our thoughts and prayers go out to Roz and the entire Lynch family.

I’m very sorry we lost Dick. He was a great friend and a great family man. When the Giants played the Redskins, we always visited before the game. Those two teams competed, but Dick and I never competed. We were always on the same team - always on the same page. He never changed his personality. I’m going to miss him.
Die Hard Giants Fan would like to send our condolences to the Lynch family and to the Giants organization for their loss. May he rest in peace.
