All of us at 1350 ESPN and the Des Moines Radio Group are devastated by the loss of our voice, our colleague, and our friend, Larry Cotlar. Larry was killed Saturday night during the flooding throughout the city of Des Moines.
Larry was the voice of sports in Central Iowa. A long-time broadcaster, he was the play-by-play announcer for Drake Men’s Basketball and also worked with the Iowa Barnstormers. Larry hosted his own weekly show on 1350 ESPN, featuring sports figures from Iowa and across the country.
Our thoughts are with his wife, Deb and their sons, Zach and Zachary. There is absolutely no replacing Larry. He will be thought of fondly and missed greatly by his family, friends, and his extended families in the sports and broadcasting communities.
