I'll never forget the Big Bumper. From your friendly neighborhood nighttime EMT/Paramedic/Physician assistant/Emergency physician!

Being a huge Cardinal fan growing up in Wyoming, I loved listening to the night games as a teenager in the 70s. After the game Jim White would come on with his At Your Service show, and I would listen to that. I always thought KMOX was the greatest radio station on earth. How could one station have so many incredible personalities. What a great time that was for radio; much better than the political based stuff AM radio bombards you with today.

All these years later, I still remember Jim's words. I fit one of his You can't fix stupid comments. I ended up on his Friday night Dateline STL... stupid teenager that I was I got married 6 weeks later. I earned that You can't fix stupid I still tell people making bad decisions that to this day.
I miss Jim and everything he stood for, the endless nights of entertainment and all these years later I hope he's had many boating journies by now!

Listened to Jim at a very young age. Miss Him..

The Greatest Radio Person In The World And There Is No One That Can Broadcast Like Him. May God Bless The Whole Family.

Heidi, I'm really sorry about your Dad. (My sister sent me the article from St. Louis). I had a great time on the Patty Wagon with your family. The Meyer Family's thoughts and prayers are with you, your sister and Mom.

I listened to Jim until I moved from the area in 1982, and enjoyed every minute. I've always regretted not being able to find radio announcers of his quality anywhere else. I'm sorry to hear of his death.

I remember back when I was a full time musician. Late at night after a gig, what did several of us in varous bands listen to . . . no, not some hot music station. We listened to Jim White. With KMOX's reach, you could listen to him just about anywhere in the country, so no matter where we were, you had a little slice of home right at your fingertips. You will be missed Big Bumper.

I used to drive for a living and I can`t tell you how many times the bumper kept me entertained on the over night drives. I am so glad that you had the chance to "retire to something" and cruise your ship up and down the mississippi bumper. You are something tha went bump in the night and always will in my memories. Rest in Peace
