Sorry to hear that news. He had a great outlook on life. I worked with him on the the all star shootout and he was always optimistic and upbeat.

What Funeral home ?

He also put money into the Joe Gentile Center on the Loyola University campus where their home basketball games take place. Sorry to hear that he passed away just as new life was being breathed into his radio station.
 
I am a litttle stunned. Now we know why WJJG was off air today.
It was just a few weeks ago he was on the air and he sounded fine.
There will never be another quite like him.
The Veteran's Day ceremony over at Rosehill Cemetery will be different this year.
