    Default RIP Obie Yagdar

    It is with a terribly heavy heart I have to say that we have lost Obie. His daughter posted a touching memorial on Facebook minutes ago.

    Please join me in raising a glass and listening to some good music in memory of one of the good ones.

    It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.

    This is absolutely devistating news.

    I was very fortunate to have met him on several occasions.
    He was so kind and humble, but also larger than life.
    It’s going to take a while to get this knot out of my stomach.

    Rest in peace my friend…
    You will always be in my prayers.

    Your friend,

    I received nothing but kindness and generosity from Obie. Truly a wonderful spirit.

    Although I did not know Obie, I have only heard kinds words for him.
    Sad when a good one is lost.

    I'm so sorry to hear about this. Obie was a true gentleman.

    God bless my friend.

    His kind of music although not bad by far is not my favorite. I am listening to it and raising a glass in his memory.

    I don't know for sure but a good chance that this was his last radio broadcast.

    08/27/2023 you have to get to about 10:30 to hear him speak.

    RIP Obie

    If there was ever a true Renaissance Man it was Obie.

    This is truly terrible news. I will miss him terribly.
