I chose a career in radio largely because of the joy I found in listening to the great Top-40 AM stations and air personalities of the 60s and 70s, and CKLW and Bill Gable were among them. Years later, in the 1990s, I was blessed to serve as Bill's program director at WMMO-FM in Orlando. When I visited my hometown of Buffalo, NY in recent years, I'd always make a point of tuning him in on AM 740. I'm so glad I reached out and gave him a call to catch up while I had the chance. I'll treasure the memories of his subtle wit, his professionalism and his friendship.<br /><br />Paul WarrenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247306282134314845.post-73263555427187497742018-09-20T08:45:05.394-04:002018-09-20T08:45:05.394-04:00I met Bill during his years at 700WLW in Cincinnat...I met Bill during his years at 700WLW in Cincinnati. I owned a collision repair shop at the time and we restored his Porsche. We became friends during that time and I would come down to the station in downtown Cincy and hang with him in the studio during his show. He was, quite simply, hilarious! Fond memories of Bill. This news makes me very sad. Rest in peace Brother Bill.<br /> <br />Tony Vaccariello<br />Cincinnati, Oh<br />Tony (aka: Dad)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02145460113560485105noreply@blogger.com
