Never heard him. Surprisingly, wasn’t aware of him.

We’ve lost a great radio legend! May he rest in peace.

“Let’s not forget...”Fake, Phoney, Fraud!”

And “folded like a cheap camera”, which a lot of people aren’t going to understand any more.

RIP Bob Grant, you always cared about New Jersey.

My mother loved him. He was on everyday in my house when I was growing up.

Me neither. Based on SeekAndFind’c earlier comment, I probably would not have been too impressed.

Before Bob Grant there was Joe Pyne in Los Angeles. Joe Pyne, who told idiots to “go gargle with razor blades”, was not a fan of JFK. After JFK was assasinated people were threatening to drive down to the radio station to get Pyne. Bob Grant filled in for Joe Pyne and the rest is history. Bob Grant was also one of first radio hosts to interview Ronald Reagan when Reagan was getting started in politics. We will miss Bob Grant.

May he RIP, a patriot, for many years he was a voice in the wilderness for common sense. Years back he predicted all the BS that was to come upon us.

I also remember hearing him say numerous times that Mike Huckabee would make the best president.

Thanks AzSteven. I looked up S&F’s comment at #16, and you’re right. I wouldn’t have been impressed.

In fact, a pro-choice pal of Crist wouldn’t even qualify as any kind of conservative in my book

he went the way of Barry Goldwater late in life but early on, he was a rock

Over here in LA George Putnam never waivered.

Oh my, Rush leaves WABC, and Bob Grant leaves the airways. I’m really sad, It was Bob Grant who made me love talk radio.

I’m going to miss him

I hope his influence is still counting.

If it wasn’t going to snow I’d go to the Reo diner and have a coffee in his memory
RIP

I used to love listening to Bob Grant and Lynn Samuals. Two oppposites who both made me think.

So that's where Mark Levin got some of his schtick?

Yes. He copied "get off my phone" from Bob Grant and "The Great One" from Jackie Gleason.

Real original, isn't he?
