I was shocked to read that this morning.
RIP Skip and condolences to the Carey family.

Don't follow it enough, is he Harry Carey's son?

The story that the AGDLynn posted said that he was Harry Caray's son.

"The two sons will carry on the family's rich broadcasting tradition, which began with Skip's father, Harry Caray, a Hall of Fame announcer who remains one of the most popular figures in baseball history.
Josh currently calls games for the Braves' Class A affiliate in Rome, Ga., and Chip serves as both a Braves announcer and the play-by-play announcer for TBS' Major League Baseball coverage. Chip was broadcasting Sunday's game between the Angels and Yankees at Yankee Stadium when he heard the startling news about his father."

Yep, and he has sons that are announcers.
I didn't realize he was almost 70. I remember watching him on the games on TBS, and for some reason I thought he was a lot younger. It's definitely a loss for the Braves and the game of baseball.
