A widely know personality who made his mark on Wisconsin radio over a 45 year career, he was especially noted for his 29 year tenure at WISN-AM, Milwaukee, where his easy warmth, ready wit and sidekick ‘Shaky’ were a morning drive time staple from 1956-86. His early broadcasting career included service at WWCF-FM, Madison and WAPL-AM Appleton radio stations, as well as WBAY-TV, Green Bay and WISN-TV, Milwaukee. He retired from his afternoon show on WOKY-AM, Milwaukee, in 1990, as one of Wisconsin’s legendary entertainment figures.
