This is a shame. I didn't know Big Jack from...Damn! This is a shame. I didn't know Big Jack from his WIXY days either, as I lived in Youngstown and we couldn't get WIXY (its frequency, 1260, was too close to a Youngstown station, WBBW-1240...where I myself worked for 10+ years). But I also remember him vividly from his relatively short stint on WKYC.<BR/><BR/>A few years ago, Majik 105.7 held a radio reunion in conjunction with GhoulardiFest at the Berea Fairgrounds, and a slew of old Cleveland jocks came back for it and were on the air that weekend. Most of them were getting a bit long in the tooth, but Jack seemed young and vital by comparison, and though he'd been doing MOR radio for years, he fell right back into his "Your Leeeeeder!" persona effortlessly, and was a treat to listen to.<BR/><BR/>R.I.P.

I listened faitfully to his WKYC broadcasts, heard him a couple times at WIXY, too. I have airchecks of him at WIXY, WKYC and CHUM which I listen to occasionally when feeling nostalgic for the glory days of AM radio.<BR/><BR/>BIG Jack, you're still the Leeeedah!

I don't remember him from his WIXY days, but I do remember him on WKYC/1100 and his Saturday night television show on WKYC-3.<BR/><BR/>Rest in peace John Larsh aka Jackson W.
