Yikes. He was a young guy.

I think he was ~40....somewhere in that range anyway.

 

[California Girl]

I'm sorry for his passing... but in what way was he a hero?

 

[Revere]

I'm thinking because he was a black executive producer of a talk show host whose conservatism is nationally renowned.

Shut up!!

I loved Royal!

Shit!

I thought that your wife had logged on to let us all know that you'd passed away.

Good to know that you're still with us...for now.

 

[RadiomanATL]

Shut up!!

I loved Royal!

He was one of the most moderate people I've ever heard on talk radio. With a fantastic sense of humor. His "Boo got shot" translation is hilarious.

I have at least 3 or 4 minutes left in me.

Thats it!

Spoke with him a few times while he was screening calls.

A real gentleman with a great sense of humor.

The Boortz program won't be the same without him.

It certainly won't.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Neil retire soon, like within the next year. The chemistry is going to totally change, and I'm not convinced that Neil wants to go through that.

He may not retire, but I wouldn't be surprised if he did.

But.... what makes him a 'hero'?

But.... what makes him a 'hero'?

I wonder the same thing sometimes.

For example, what made the little girl who was killed last week in Tucson a "hero"?

 

[RadiomanATL]

But.... what makes him a 'hero'?

"of Atlanta radio".


That's the qualifier.

And to answer, his dedication in realizing that it is more than "just a job". He acted as a mentor to many new in the business locally. He guided them along career paths, and many went on to outshine him career-wise. But he was content to stay behind the scenes for the most part.

To California Girl: OH SNAP!

She wasn't a hero. She was a little girl with very much potential.

Then he was a great American... and an example to others. I like that. And I can understand the 'hero'... but, to me, the word gets bandied around too much.

Thats why I had the qualifier.
