Prez was a colleague and a mentor. His knowledge of jazz and his superb, unique broadcasting skills taught me (and all his listeners) a lot.
I will forever remember and miss him.

His passion for presenting jazz over the Buffalo airways remains unsurpassed.
He is missed.

It's hard to express how sorry I am to hear about the passing of Prez.
It was my honor to work with him for a good many years at WEBR.
The strength of his personality and his musical taste made him a much remembered Jazz voice.
A month doesn't go by, after all these years, that I don't hear about the influence Prez had upon his loyal listeners.
I'll miss him.
