We lost a tremendous force in our radio family this week. Steve Smith was truly one of the good guys! We have heard so many stories from people over the past few days and while we are all shocked and saddened by his passing, he has left such a mark on so many lives and careers. He will truly not be forgotten. RIP Steve.
