THE FOREVER "FLY JOCK" SIGNS OFF

 END OF AN ERA:  TOM JOYNER RETIRES

(December 13, 2019) As you wake up today family, know you're witnessing the end of an era. It's hard to believe this day is finally here. After 25 years Tom Joyner is spending his final moments on the radio. 

Tom Joyner and Sybil Wilkes have been an interval part of my broadcast career for more than half of my adult life.  

Tom,  your connection to Mobile, Alabama will never be forgotten because of your dear departed brother, and my friend Al Joyner.  Morning radio will NEVER be the same. The TJMS shall forever be, "the ultimate party with a purpose!"  

Bravo Tom Joyner, you've been more than 'the Fly Jock," you've literally empowered and entertained a nation.

Happy Retirement and thanks for the ride of a lifetime!

Saturday, November 5, 2011

(New York, NY)--Former 60 Minutes Commentator Andy Rooney dies exactly one month after his final commentary aired on the popular news magazine.  CBS News confirms Rooney died in New York Friday night. Can't you just see it now, Andy Rooney telling St. Peter about the "oddities and or unique" things he's already observed noticed the pearly gates?

It reminds me of something another legendary "news woman"who was very instrumental in my career told me once.  Dot Moore worked well into her golden years and was determined to remain active. She told me "Varion never retire, working truly gives you something to look forward to everyday." I never forgot Dot's words and to this day and I've always declared I would only be considered "semi-retired!"  Here's to Andy Rooney and his iconic career.  If you're anything like me I simply can't imagine 60 minutes without Rooney telling me "exactly why Oranges are orange!" I'm already missing my "Rooney Fix!" Andy Rooney, a journalism legend dead at 92.
