Sad 😭 It just sucks you know he was a Hall of Fame weatherman on WGN just like another Hall of Fame weatherman that I watch every single day at 9 PM and 10 Mr. Tom Skilling he’s a Hall of Famer in my book as well

[@michealfreeman1341]

wow a really true legend of Chicago thanks for everything one of Chicago's finest Chicago's very own rest in peace

[@MsLovelyCookie]

Aww I missed his deep voice when he retired. It’s sad whenever someone you watch growing up retire and a few years later then pass away.
