Cindy,
I’m sorry for your loss. I have been a listener for awhile and was glad when John came back on the radio a few months ago. I was saddened to learn of his recent passing. Although I never met John I do remember you from Camp Walden years ago.
Our thoughts are with you at this time.

As a young woman in college I started listening to talk radio instead of music. On one of my commutes to Wayne State University I checked into a local station to get traffic and weather updates (probably WXYT). I heard this man talking and he changed something within me. It was a process because I mostly voted Democrat. I nervously called his show one day. He kept saying Diana slow down. Long story short, he is just one of my angels who helped me see a different way of thinking. Years gone by I heard John on the Patriot. I couldn't believe this man who was so patient with me was still on the airwaves. It was so good to hear his voice. God Bless You John McCulloch and Thank You.❤
