Rest in peace

I still remember listening to him when I lived in Dallas in the '90's.

Rest in peace.

I didn't listen to him much in the States, but his show is the only option on the American Forces Network, the only English radio station in Korea, at any time when I would be listening (evening commute). It was always a fun show, interesting topics. Sorry he had to see his end so early in life.

One of my good friends from high school worked for him for several years. Here's a link to a tribute she posted for him. Pretty cool story of how she got the job in the first place.

Kidd Kraddick, You Changed My Life - One of Those Moms

I never listened to his show, but my wife did and she was in shock when she heard. I tuned in on Monday just to see what they would be talking about, and I'll admit that it got a little dusty in my car despite my having no real connection to the guy. He seemed like a genuinely good dude, and so many people were impacted by his passing it's surreal.
