Fred Holub passes

V

virg

Virgil Petrie here. An old friend of Fred.

I'm sorry to announce the passing of my dear friend Fred Holub on December 15th. As some of you may already know, Fred had been ill for sometime forcing his retirement from the broadcasting scene he loved so well.

I'd like everyone to know that his passing while unexpected, was painless and peaceful. He had been happy (despite his illness) to be living back in the Sacramento Delta where he grew up. The little town of Walnut Grove embraced him and cared for him (I know this firsthand). I and Curt Hemmings family just spent a marvelous Thanksgiving with him in November. He had just returned from a dream trip to the Hawaiian Islands when he passed. I like to think he was at peace.

His mother Margaret plans to scatter his ashes in the delta in a favorite spot on Saturday the 19th of Januaray at two pm. She requests that everyone that knew him pause at that time and think of him.

R.I.P. Fred. We miss you buddy.

Sincerly, Virgil Petrie
 
Sorry to read this about Fred. We worked together at a Radio Network in the Jolly Roger CNN building. While I had some difficulties working with him, I'm glad I got the chance!

Your site never ceases to inform and entertain. It is amongst the web's most interesting sites. Please consider me a fan.

You are truly the Huell Howser of transmitter sites. :)
 
I can hear Scott now! "Golly! Here I am standing atop the old Los Angeles Times building. This is where KHJ had a studio and a transmitter tower in the 1920s. I'm gonna walk along the edge here and see if I can talk to this man standing here. Follow with me here. Good afternoon, sir! Do you know what this site used to be? There was a radio station here." :D
 
The Huell Howser of radio towers?

Well...golly! ;D

Thanks for the kind words. And hey, look...that dog is eating an avocado! Can you believe that?
