Lawrence Selisker Obituary

Lawrence Francis Selisker Lawrence Francis Selisker, 80, of Overland Park, Kansas, passed away January 28th, 2019, from cancer. Larry was born November 9, 1938, in Brainerd, Minnesota to Joseph and Gertrude (Slomnik) Selisker. He entered the field of radio-broadcasting in his early teens, and earned his B.A. in Theater Arts with a focus on Social Justice, from St. Cloud State University, then joined the Army, in Communications, providing news and entertainment for troops stationed in Korea. Upon return, he worked as a program director and on-air personality at KLOK, San Jose; and KOB, Albuquerque; and as writer, producer and on-air personality Brad Sherman with KMBR/KMBZ, here in Kansas City. He loved the outdoors and was an avid bicyclist, reader and huge sports fan. Time spent with his grandson was his greatest joy, and his love and high regard for others was immense. He is survived by his brother Robert and sister Mary-Jean: and his two sons Mark Selisker of Fort Worth, Texas, Jon Selisker of Overland Park, Kansas, and grandson Evan Selisker. A Celebration of Life will be held in the coming months at Shawnee Mission Park in Johnson County, Kansas. Those interested in attending can contact son Jon at [email protected].

I so cherished your friendship and the support you gave me in good times and not so good. I will always think of you as one of the best men i have known in life and one of the most loving. Your humor always raised me up. I know you are in a good place now and as always i will be thinking of you and missing you. With love, Diane Lindsey

Radio has certainly evolved over the 45 years I've been fortunate enough to call it my "work home", but the genuine, caring, and professional people I've met along the way give me a reason to come to work every day. They were the one constant that lifted a job into a calling, to serve the listeners of Kansas City. Larry (Brad Sherman) was instantly your best friend on the air with an easy-going way and sense of humor who always took the time to really listen to what you had to say. He will be missed by all who knew him.
