Fellow radio personalities have been posting tributes to Girton on social media including many who worked with him.

"Passion is the word that best describes Tim. Passion about radio. Passion about his family and passion about anything he chose to do. As far as I'm concerned, one of the best and underrated talents to come from Louisville," said Mark Gunn, Vice, President of Programming at Aircom Media.

Former Louisville morning man George Lindsey, who is now at the "Morning Bull Morning Show" in Houston, said Girton was a pro. "Tim Gerard (Girton) was one of the kindest and most gifted radio professionals I’ve worked with in my career. His incredible, natural voice made him an icon in Louisville Radio, but his soul made him one of the best people I’ve known," Lindsey said.
