HBR is deeply saddened to share the news of the passing of Jim Teckenbrock, the longtime Sports Director at WSPY Radio. Jim's unwavering dedication to local and regional high school sports, along with his distinctive voice and passion for broadcasting, made him a cherished figure in our community. His commitment to covering high school sports since the late 1990’s has had a great impact on countless athletes, families, and fans throughout the Fox Valley area. His legacy will continue to inspire future generations. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and all who were touched by his remarkable career.
