Listeners, family and friends are mourning the loss of Longtime radio personality Skip Walters, who died Sunday, according to KRTV 3 Great Falls.
"Skip was a legend in the broadcast industry, really, especially in this market,” Country KMON 94.5 FM manager Ron Korb said about Skip Walters.
"Skip's been broadcasting in this area somewhere between 40 and 50 years overall,” Korb said.
"I think with Skip, he had a really unique sense of humor and that came across on the radio stations for sure,” Korb said.
"Skip was my very first program director, which means he gave me my first on-air job,” said Tammie Toren, KMON program director and announcer. Toren said Walters' death is more than just a loss for the radio station.
"Skip did so much for Great Falls whenever he could, whatever was necessary at the time. Whether it was at the veterans memorial or at the Maggie or maybe he was doing a remote. Even just here when the weather's bad and everybody's worried. Skip would be on the radio saying 'The storm's going to last this long' and all that stuff,” Toren explained.
