Uncle Walt's Passing

W

wahookah

Hello Again, Everyone:
....it is with Heavy Heart that I let everyone know that Tucson Radio Veteran Walt Query Passed away yesterday afternoon in hospice in Mesa where he was receiving treatment. Details of his death are as of this writing are unknown. I'll be speaking with Aunt Tina (his wife) later today regarding funeral services. Walt was Very Much known in Tucson & Southern Arizona for his radio work & One of the last of the "Original" DJ's of radio station KTUC (he always told me "where the skeletons were hid" at the old station location @ 16th. & Cherry). Like many from the "old days", I first heard Uncle Walt (aka: Ron Jacobs) on the airwaves as one of the voice announcers for KVOA Ch. 4, and like many who stayed up "past bed time", was the "sign-off" voice when CH. 4 went off the air. That's how I got to know of Walt & ...later on in years, I got to work with him at KTUC for a couple of years. If you knew Uncle Walt, Please keep him in your thoughts & prayers today. Like many of my contemporaries & mentors from my years passed in Tucson Radio Broadcasting, I shall miss him Greatly! Rest In Peace, Uncle Walt! :'(
 
Talk about putting off that phone...call. Walt we will miss the heavy radio conversations.

Please let us know of services. He made a nice showing at my father in law's service a couple of years ago.

Hello to all--

I'd like to let you know there will be a memorial service for my husband Walt Query (aka Ron Jacobs) held at Congregation Ner Tamid in the Masonic Hall at 1944 E Allen St, which is just east of Campbell. It will be at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday July 18th. Although Walt wasn't Jewish, this is the only religious entity either of us were involved in. Any and all are welcome.
Thanks for all the friendship, love, and support.

Tina Koenig Query
