Pensacola/Fort Walton Jimmy Whitaker, owner of WJSB/ WAAZ in Crestview has died

Jimmy had owned the AM/FM in Crestview for over 50 years....he passed away on August 8. Funeral plans are incomplete at this time.
A well respected man in the industry. One whom I never had the chance to meet but considered a broadcasting role model. Seems like I read on the stations Facebook page awhile back that he built WJSB at age 19, back in 1954. I was in Crestview two weeks ago and wished I would have stopped by the station. I hope Crestview Broadcasting will continue as a local operation. May he rest in peace!
