Many, no doubt, have already heard this (not surprisingly Facebook, not Radio Discussions, is the ‘go-to’ place for sharing such news) … but as Bob Mills was a Rochester radio and TV icon, it seems worthwhile to post something here, as well.…
Bob Mills, once king of local TV weather, dies at 83 (Democrat and Chronicle, June 25, 2015)
As a kid, I watched him on TV … and, many years later, he was gracious enough to record a “remember when”-style drop for my then-request show on the radio.

Of course, I asked him to include his signature sign-off, “Have a happy!” on this drop (originally recorded for WKLX, but later re-purposed for WBBF-FM):
