RIP Rockin’ Reggie McDaniels

by | 4:43 pm, August 22, 2010 | 2 Comments

In my 3 year tenure at 850 KOA, I was blessed to have so many wonderful friendships, and to know so many wonderful people.  I don’t know if Reggie McDaniel would have called me a friend, but without a doubt, I’m better because I knew him.

My memories of Reggie will be of a man that came into the office at 9 AM when he wasn’t due on-air until 11.  He needed that much time to talk with everyone, catch up on what was going on.  And there is one other thing that will always stick out in my mind about Reggie, and that was what a great memory he had.  While I’m sure we’ve all heard him at one time or another pull an actor or director’s name out of nowhere, I can tell you that Reggie possessed the same acumen with history as he did with movies.  I think that is one side of Reggie not many of his fans ever came to know.  But Reggie maybe loved history more than he loved entertainment.  And he loved to talk history, debate history.

RIP Reggie McDaniel.  You were inspirational with your enthusiasm for life.

    First place I heard was here in your story. Sad to hear it. I used to look forward to hearing him on with Mike Rosen on Fridays to talk movies.

    I always loved hearing his rosy view of life and entertainment.
