Fairfield University Athletics

Bob Heussler will be celebrating 25 years of broadcasting Fairfield University men’s basketball games this year. To recognize his contribution to Fairfield University, the Department of Athletics will commemorate this anniversary with Bob Heussler Bobblehead Day on February 15 against Rider. The bobblehead is sponsored by the Connecticut Sun, with whom Bob has served as play-by-play announcer since the team's arrival in 2003.

In addition to celebrating his anniversary, the University will donate part of the proceeds from the day to the Fairfield University School of Nursing in remembrance of his wife Marcia. Marcia served others as an operating room nurse at Yale-New Haven Hospital for 20 years, putting the needs of her patients before her own. She was a loving wife to Bob and devoted mother to their sons Steve and Gary. She passed too soon when she lost her battle with cancer in 2011.
