Bummed to hear this. I never really interacted with him directly in here, but his posts were always entertaining and informative.

RIP.

Sad to hear this. He had an insider's knowledge of radio and had so many great stories. Cancer sucks so much. R.I.P. Colonel Flagg.

I'm very saddened by this news. He enjoyed chatting about rock radio and also 760 WJR and was knowledgeable in both spheres, remarkably. Not a frequent poster but certainly someone whose musings I generally enjoyed reading.

May he rest in peace and enjoy eternal life in heaven.

Oh, no. Good conversation with the Colonel over the years. Filled in a lot of blanks for a lot of us around here. Should any of the Hoppe family sees this, I'm sorry for your loss. We loved having him around.
