To Fran Bibbs and Family,
My deepest sympathy to you at this sad time. When Natalie sent us the text yesterday that John had passed away, I was so sad. I was really hoping I would see him again at a KIX 106 reunion. Natalie had organized the party in 2013 when you were in Memphis, but I could not attend because my Mom had died that week and I was with my family in St. Louis. John was one of the best managers I had in Radio. He truly was one of my mentors and I attribute much of my success in the business to him. He did everything first class from our Christmas parties, which Memphis radio clients will never forget, to the monthly lunches that Fran cooked and everyone did not want to miss because the food was so good. John will be missed so much by those who knew him. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Fran.
