God Bless Gary Cocker.
When he was with us at K-BEST 95, he was a perfect gentleman and lovely human being. His talent was elegant and his on-air presence large.
Rest in peace, Gary

How sad. I've known Gary for a looooong time. He was a a very talented gentleman. Anyone know if there will be a service for him? RIP GARY. My most sincere condolences to your family.

Gary was a great guy and one of my favorite air talents. His website is still running at http://www.garycocker.com/ What a set of pipes. I wonder if having some Coors during his show helped. (That was humor, folks). I worked with him at KYA in 1977 when I was getting college credit for being at my dream station for a year. Gary let me do a mic break, introducing the number one requested song "Star Wars" by Meco. If there's one aircheck I'd like on tape, that one is it.
Once he had his headphones on and played "Bitch" by the Rolling Stones at full-volume on the monitor and it was so loud, I had to leave the studio until he finished.
