Uecker mourning the death of his son

April 7, 2012 By Bill Scott

On the day that Bob Uecker was calling yet another baseball opener for the Milwaukee Brewers, Mr. Baseball lost his son.

Steve Uecker passed away at Froedtert Hospital in Milwaukee from complications related to an illness known as San Joaquin Valley Fever.  He was 52.

“This is a very difficult time for all of my family as we mourn the loss of my son Steve,” Bob Uecker said.  “We appreciate the support of everyone connected to the Brewers: the players and coaches, the front office, and the fans.  I also want to thank all of the doctors and staff at Froedtert Hospital for their efforts and care throughout this process.”

“Bob is a great friend, and on behalf of everyone at the Brewers, Debbie and I want to extend our deepest sympathies to him and his family on the passing of his son Steve,” said Brewers Chairman and Principal Owner Mark Attanasio.  “His loss is our loss, and we share his sadness today.”

A private memorial service will be held.
