Bill Austin

I've been living outside the state for several years and just came home this year to be with the fam for Xmas and my mom told me about the sad news. I am deeply shocked and saddened that Bill passed away. I was just a little boy growing up in Mesa when I first started watching Bill on channel 12. I grew up watching and later listening to him on the radio and their spots on Good Morning Arizona. As I got older and found myself working in radio, I worked in the same building as he did and would run into him in the break room to get coffee. I never formally met the guy but I always enjoyed our exchanges of witty banter when we would cross paths in the break room. To me, Bill was a celebrity. I am surprised I could handle a conversation, I was always a nervous wreck when he would crack a joke or two with me.

I appreciate What Bill Austin brought to our world. Kudos to writer of the story, it was very well written. May Bill be at peace. Merry Christmas.

OMG, i just read this bad tragedy so sorry for your loss . i know it has been two years but we just found out. we thought he retired . when we did not hear him on the radio.

OMG, i am saddened eventhough its been 2 yrs . i honestly thought it was a joke and he was on vacation or had quit working . I am sorry

My condulences Beth he is with u always and with us everymorning , I loved hearing his voice & u guys quarreling over your winetimes. dam it its not the same though. god bless

My heart is saddened by Bill's passing. I listened to Beth and Bill every morning for ten years while living in Scottsdale. He will be missed.

Bill was my Uncle in a non family way, I knew him since high school days when he worked at KBIM and was part of the drama class he and his mom and dad were a part of our life. When he worked in Amarillo was the last and final time I would see him and get to hear his wonderful voice. I am so proud to have been in his life even if for a short time.

i didn't know until today that bill passed on.he was a nice man.

I AM SOO.. SORRY TO HEAR OF BILL'S PASSING. I LISTEND TO BETH AND BILL SENSE I MOVE TO AZ EVERY CHRISTMAS AND DURING THE YEAR. THEY BRIGHTENED MY DAYS WHEN I WAS HOME SICK. WHEN WE MOVED BACK TO NY IN 2005 I WOULD LISTEN EVERY CHRISTMAS THANKS TO THE COMPUTER. HE WILL BE MISSED... BETH OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU... GOD BLESS

I am very sad to hear that Bill has past away. I was setting up my internet radio and trying to find the KEZ radio. I live in San Antonio now and truly miss the Beth and Bill morning show. That was true entertainment. I wish Bill was here so I can tell him how much I ennjoyed his humor and laughing, on the morning show. Laughter is why I listened to KEZ. Beth, Thank you for those fabulous morning shows. I finally got to meet you and Bill, while singing Karoke, with Nancy and Perry Damone (2000). KEZ has given Phoenix a whole lot of entertainment. Beth, and Bill, thanks again for all of those fantastic memories. AKA Wolfman (Country Kicken Dave)

A year later and I miss you just the same on the radio. I sense you are still with us on my crazy morning commute.
