R.I.P.: Ken Meyer, Beloved Boston Radio Broadcaster

Ken Meyer ('45-'25)

Ken Meyer, a beloved Boston radio broadcaster, passed away peacefully Thursday.  Meyer's carrer included stints at WBZ-AM, Newsradio WEEI and others.  He also was producer of evening talkmaster Larry Glick's radio show on WBZ in the 1970's. He was 79-years-of age.

His passion for radio, sparked in youth, fueled a distinguished career, earning him a 2011 induction into the Massachusetts Broadcasters Hall of Fame as one of the industry’s notable producers. A graduate of the New York State School for the Blind, Ken demonstrated the power of sound to transcend visual impairment.

He cherished reading, time with his dogs, extra bleu cheese on everything, and being first in line for roller coasters. 

A devoted Boston sports fan, Ken loved home life with his wife, Terrie. He is survived by Terrie, children Janet and David, mother-in-law Mary, school family. In lieu of flowers, donations are requested to the Perkins School for the Blind in Ken’s memory. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
