Hard to believe. You did radio with passion and joy. Pure radio talent. A Star. You set the bar, showed how it\u2019s done. You defined & shaped it for years to come. You loved it & it loved you back like crazy. A radio legend has fallen.<\/p>\n

I am shattered a legend fallen\u2026 I knew him from production days when I worked for Bonngoe as a Prod Manager doing Metro FM Awards, I’d later harass him for a job at Power FM
I called him Uncle Bob, he’d smile & call me Barbie\u2026
