Since the other grumpy old guys here are yapping away about grumpy-type stuff, allow me to express my sorrow that Terry Avalos, who provided traffic reports at CKWX and CKNW, and worked for a time at CISQ, passed away earlier this week.
Terry had pancreatic cancer but dealt with a number of health problems for a number of years.
He left radio about five years ago.
Terry was always open about his sexuality which, I hope, was an example to young broadcasters that they needn't hide who they are. (He probably would have fit in with our little gang at the Media Club 30 years ago, Mr T. Dog).
My condolences go out to his husband Ivan.
Farewell, Traffic Bear.
cArtie.
