Listeners to KNYE radio heard from owner Art Bell on the air Tuesday morning, during a break in his music format, broadcast on 95.1 FM from Pahrump.
The recent widower, whose wife Ramona was laid to rest just last week, spoke lovingly of her, saying he knew she would want him to keep KNYE running.
Bell said his wife handled all their finances, mentioning that he didn't even know the PIN number on his bank account. He also doesn't cook.
"It was my intention to leave a rich widow," Bell said. "Not the other way around."
He announced he will hire a person to handle the day to day operations of KNYE and that more details would be announced on the radio station on Jan. 22.
Bell said if residents in Pahrump see him around town, "Just be nice, because I am in an extreme grieving (process)."
Ramona Bell died unexpectedly on Jan. 5 after an asthma attack. The couple was in Laughlin on a short vacation. She was 47 years old.
Just.....damn. Art is good people. GBU, Art.
I think of Art's show as campfire 'n smores time, like I used to have as a kid. That, or the family chats you'd have when the power went out. It feels great, and if you trust everyone present, you end up wondering about stuff you'd NEVER think about during the day.
I think that's been going on since cave-man days, actually.
I hope Art NEVER stops...
Mega-dittoes to that!
And Mrs. Bell had suffered there from severe asthma for years.
If a guest just didn't make sense and/or contradicted him/herself (some were clearly liars or deranged), Art would dump them early.
