Every afternoon when we start our show on WWL, I feel like I am getting together with my family. We have thousands and thousands of regular listeners and many regular callers - but there are a few callers that call in with a certain personality or point-of-view that become truly ingrained in the show.

Today we learned that one of those regular callers - "Justin in Gentilly" - passed away on May 13th following complications from a spider bite.


Justin was known for his upbeat attitude, and he always had a positive view of life. Justin's passion was music - he played the drums, and many times he would call, it would be to ask me specific questions about my favorite concert, albums, and interviews with rock stars.

Our deep sadness over the loss of one of our higher-profile callers is testament to the idea that we treat our listeners as family, and today we are grieving because a family member has passed away.

Please let this be a sign of just how much I think of all of you as part of my family.

Hear the tribute we paid to "Justin in Gentilly" in the audio player above, and see a peak into his music in videos here and here.
