The station is a bit of a mess on and off air it seems.

It’s always awful when somebody passes, but even more so when it comes so suddenly. I’ve only heard him a couple of times before, but the connection he had with listeners was abundantly clear. My thoughts are with his family, friends and colleagues at this time.

May he rest in peace, and his memory be a blessing.
