RIP ZZAND

Unread post by TC Talks »

Well fellas, I just stumbled onto a Facebook from his daughter that ZZAND has passed away.

I knew him as Ted Cramer, PD with Northern Star but he was a true troubadour of the airwaves in many places in the Midwest. I will locate an obit for him.

RIP Mr. Life of Riley...

Wow. That's a shock. Years ago we were in disagreement on a lot of issues, but lately things have been more amicable between us.


Rest in Peace Zed Zed.

I am in disbelief and am very saddened by this news.

One of my favorite posters, a damn good radio programmer and a damn good person.

I was unaware he was facing such challenges.

To have this happen just days after Craig Russell's passing makes this even worse.

I sincerely thank you for letting us know, TC Talks.

If anyone would like to make a donation, I bet the medical bills ate up a lot of money.

RIP zzand. Way too many good people dying this week. Both nationally and people I know.
They/them, non-binary and proud.

NEVER EVER COMPLY WITH FASCISM!!!

The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.

Ditto.

Now I kind of regret some of the unkind things I said to him in the past.

Just terrible. I watched him really mellow out over the years and he became one of our greatest posters here. I wish his family peace and that he may rest well. Godspeed, zz.

We also lost Kevin Sanderson last week as well. He worked for WTWR 92.3 in the 70s and Smooth Jazz 98.7, Kevin also did Metro traffic for Fox 2.

Here is an obituary...

I personally think he missed an opportunity by going with an on-air name of Ted instead of Maurice...
