Bucks

Bucks EVP JOHN STEINMILLER died yesterday at 73 after a "short fight with cancer," according to Jim Owczarski of the MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL. Steinmiller joined the franchise in 1970 and "served in many roles from his part-time beginnings to serving in the front office." He began as an administrative assistant and "eventually moved into the role of public relations director in 1972, becoming the youngest person in professional sports in that job." He spent more than 30 years as EVP/Business Operations. Steinmiller "celebrated his 50th anniversary with the team in the 2019-20 season and was on hand for both championships in franchise history" (MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL, 10/12).
