Bill O'Mara, a sports-broadcasting pioneer at KING-TV six decades ago and later sports director for more than 20 years at KLKI radio in Anacortes, died Saturday at age 92 in Stevens Hospital in Edmonds.
In one of the most famous moments in Seattle television, in 1951, O'Mara recited The Lord's Prayer on the air when the unlimited hydroplane Quicksilver disintegrated and sank in Lake Washington, killing driver Orth Mathiot and riding mechanic Thom Whittaker.
