His broadcast partner of ten years, Jeff Levering, reminisced on what it was like to have a seat next to Mr. Baseball.

"You always remember him in everyday life," Levering said. "Everything you do, there is something that reminds you of what Bob is all about. You just try and live your life the way that he would live life."

Levering said he felt Uecker's presence during last year's special season.

"There was so much great that happened with this Brewers team in 2025, and it tugged on your heartstrings. You couldn't help but think that it was Bob tugging on those heartstrings."

Levering will always feel fortunate to have had a front row seat to Uecker's iconic calls.

"It was just so fun to watch him in the big moments — just to look to my right and see how Bob would call those moments. Even that last game, every single moment was memorable with Bob."

Uecker died Jan. 16, 2025, at the age of 90.
