Thats really bad news. He seemed a genuinely nice guy. He'll be missed.

Just want to add my name to that, I seem to have listened to him and/or known he's around since my early 20's.

Astonishing to think that he was 65 - I remember growing up listening to him but he just never changed.

One of the most distinctive voices in radio is going to be missed!

I have a compilation album he did with a bunch of Seattle bands. It's one of my favorites and that's pretty much all the exposure I had to him. Too bad, since he sounds like a terrific guy and a rarity in music these days.
