The last Rhythm Pal is gone

[radiofan]

From Red Robinson comes news that Jack Jensen, the last surviving member of the Rhythm Pals, died Friday afternoon in Kelowna.

Marc Wald passed away in April of this year and Mike Ferbey passed a few years ago.

The Rhythm Pals, Mike, Marc & Jack were a big part of CKNW's early success and later at CKWX.

John Mackie of The Vancouver Sun did a great piece on The Rhythm Pals in April of this year (shortly after the death of Marc Wald.

Thanks for noticing that David! It was late when I posted that.

And I forget to add 'RIP Jack'. I used to really enjoy the RP's stylings in the day.
