Sad to hear of the passing of longtime CU reporter Adam Munsterteiger. Adam was great to work with when I was a young media/PR person in the industry. He was always kind, respectful and supportive of me as I tried to get into the business…

CU Athletics is heartbroken to learn of the passing of Adam Munsterteiger. Adam was a light in our Buffs community who covered CU sports and shared student-athlete stories for more than two decades. Our deepest condolences go to his wife, Liz, and their family.

…Not just that, but he was a great reporter and writer that always asked thoughtful questions to players and coaches. Was definitely one of my favorites on the CU Beat. He will be missed.

This group of seniors have seen and been through a lot. Glad that I was a part of their journey as Pios.

A bit late wit this, but one of the coolest moments for me was watching the Avs play in Calgary and sitting next to Bob Cole in the Saddledome Press Box--he was there just taking in the game & was one of the nicest people to talk with.

I was lucky enough to learn from Larry in college, be a student of his in his sports broadcasting class in the journalism school and earn the Larry Zimmer Sports Broadcasting Scholarship to help pay for college ...

I further got to know Larry and his wonderful wife even more during my time as a GA with CU Sports Information and am forever grateful for having him be a part of my life. I wouldn't be where I am today without him. Thank you & rest in peace, Larry.

A great man, a great friend, and someone we will dearly miss.
The Avalanche organization is beyond sad to hear the news of Peter’s passing. Peter has been there for every season of the Avalanche’s existence and was the voice of the team through so many memorable years, including three Stanley Cup championships. He was a staple in the local hockey community, going back to his years playing at the University of Denver to working nearly 30 years with the Avs. But as good as a hockey man he was, he will be most remembered for being a friend to so many. On behalf of the Avalanche organization, we send our deepest condolences to the entire McNab family. Peter will be greatly missed. -Joe Sakic, president of hockey operations
