Note article includes Gil Haars stints at KFBC, KVWO and KMJ before going to San Francisco.
Haar, of Millbrae, died Sept. 12, according to his friend and Bay Area radio colleague, John Evans. Haar passed away at Peninsula Hospital in Burlingame.

Born Eugene Lewis Gelhaar on April 18, 1930, in Kansas City, Missouri, his burgeoning radio career brought him to San Francisco in 1958. He began as a teen radio broadcaster in Kansas City before heading off to Wyoming in 1952, when he worked as a program director at KVWO in Cheyenne.

Remaining there for two years, Haar was the station’s program director. He then worked at KFBC radio and KFBC-TV in Cheyenne in 1956. His career eventually brought him to California in 1958. He became a newscaster at KMJ radio in Fresno, where he would remain until 1966.
