Larry Glick

I grew up listening to night time radio from Virginia and North Carolina during the 1960s. WBZ, 1030 Kilocycles, Boston, had a clear channel down the east coast and Larry Glick's show was my favorite! Great memories of him back in those days! On a visit to my grandmother's house, I accidently found a tiny AM radio under her bed and asked her about it. She said she kept it there so she wouldn't miss Larry Glick all night! Haha! There was no "generation gap" with Larry!

When I was a kid I would cozy up to Larry late at night (when my parents wanted me to be asleep), and here treasures of stories from people phoning in, from their homes, from phone booths, from restaurants in foreign countries. Like many others, I looked forward to the ghost stories that callers would tell, including "Graveyard Marauder." And other favorites, like the Orangutan Story ("This is One Monkey He's Glad to Get Off His Back!"), along with Larry's schticks as when a caller would say,...

Larry was a master at his craft. I was fortunate to meet him twice - first during the studio open house on July 4th 1976 in Alston, and once again at Norwood Airport when I flew in to pick up a friend. I think Larry was taking a flying lesson. He was as entertaining on person as he was on the radio.

Mr Glick was a frequent fixture on my Ma's night offs. She would call and talk religion, politics, news of the world..I remember so well..he had the best voice. Rest in peace and thank you

I was one of probably millions of teens who hid a radio under the covers from their parents after bedtime. I proudly wore the label "Glicknic". Thank you for the enrichment you brought to my world.

Larry became a close friend when I was assigned to The Boston Army Recruiting Battalion as the Boston Recruiting Company Commander 1982-1985. He had me as a guest on his show a couple of times. During one of those times, Larry asked me what my greatest challenge was meeting recruiting objectives (#s of men and women recruiting quotas). I honestly told him "that if Boston is the Cradle of Liberty, then why is it immensely difficult to get more young men and women to join the Armed Services?...

I had the opportunity to know Larry when serving Army Recruiting in Boston, MA. He interviewed me several times as he got his start working for Army Radio in Europe. He was a strong supporter of US Army Recruiting while I was assigned to US Army Recruiting Battalion in Boston. I will miss him! My deepest sympathies to his surviving family.

I started lisening to Larry on WBZ in late 1977 after I moved from New York to go to school in Philadelphia. I found the show by accident and could usually get a signal. I became a regular listener when I moved to Boston in 1985. I got two Glick University t-shirts during the WHDH years. I ran into Larry at Downtown Crossing one evening on my way home from work. He had just done a remote broadcast. I asked him how he was doing. "Fine," he said. I said, "You're supposed to say 'Let me...

I loved to listen to Larry on my way to work in the morning.Always a good way to start my day. Especially loved the way he would shoot people off the air. Some even challenged him to do it He would say I wont do that to you but I'll do this and the next thing you hear is a nuclear bomb blast@
