I am so sorry to hear this. May he RIP. What a sad loss.
We became good ‘cyber-friends’, I will miss him and his wisdom so much. Can’t stop sobbing.
Some personal information.
[snip]Terry is survived by his wife Melanie, who was also his high school sweetheart, two sons, and two grandchildren. He was born in Oakland, Calif., but moved to South Los Angeles when he was a youngster and lived there ever since. After starting his radio show in November 2000, Terry would have broadcast for the 500th time in a few weeks.
He’s known for his well-prepared opening monologues (see one of his famous monologues here and watch him explaining how illegal immigration has harmed MacArthur Park here), which he often spent 20-30 hours a week to prepare.
In 10 years, he never missed a show, although he was pre-empted a few times by his home station on very short notice.
In the weeks leading up to his death, Terry Anderson had J.D. Hayworth, Republican challenger to John McCain, and Russell Pearce, author of Arizona’s new immigration enforcement law, on his radio program. In his “Clown of the Week” segment, he blasted the Obama Administration for their decision to sue the state of Arizona as well as DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, and head of the Los Angeles Archdiocese Cardinal Roger Mahony.”
