It was game day on Saturday at the Picano house. There's a
family tradition of watching the Florida State University vs. University of
Florida football game.
But this year, the family watched without one of its biggest
fans, according to a story at wpbf.com.
Picano was the voice of the Palm Beaches and broadcast at
WJNO in the 1970s and 1980s.
"The voice was as smooth as amaretto, honey-like. It
was beautiful," wife Kathy Picano said.
Kathy Picano met her husband at the beginning of his radio
career. She keeps tapes with his best radio moments.
"He interviewed (Ronald) Reagan at the White House,
Rose Kennedy and Jack Nicklaus," Kathy Picano said.
