Get Well Soon Grizzly 94.5XKR

[windsor]

Was at the cottage near lake erie today and was listening to XKR and heard Bill Michaels talking about Grizzly having surgery and suffered a mild stroke

So sorry to hear that, always loved listening to the big guy on IOT and whenever I could catch him by the lake on XKR.

GET WELL SOON GRIZZLY !!!!!!

btw ....great job XKR on the double shots of Uncle Ted for his show tonight in T Town, it was nice to hear great white buffalo again on the airwaves.

He was at his best overnight on IOT. The block of metal he played at midnight every night was awesome.

One of the few good unique local personalities we have left. Hope he's well soon.

There is a fundraiser for him at the Cock n Bull either this weekend or next. Saw the H*** banner when I was down there last week.

Can anyone give us an update on the big guy???? thx

Grizzly was on TV, but his booming voice was down a notch. He's not on the air. The stroke doesn't appear to have affected his speech, but he had a walker and has lost about 50 lbs. He said medical bills could be close to $2 million dollars???
So nice of Cumulus to do something for him- NOT. Fund raiser was about $5K, so a start.
Truly the last of a dozen Toledo originals that you wanted to hear talk as much or more than the music.
His description of him installing his own ceiling fan was so damn funny I about had to pull over the car. I hope he can make it back on the air. One of the very, very, very few "must hear radio" people in T-Town at all. A shame when I was in high school you had to decide what station, and that included overnight guys from midnight to 6am that were live and crazy fun too.

Thx for that update WOHO......good to hear the stroke didnt do worse and it sounds like he still has his sense of humour.

Keep fighting Grizz !!!!!

I did weekend overnights on WXKE 104 in Ft Wayne around 85- 86. I had free range of anything in the library as long as it wasn't, as Doc West said, "too pop". It's the only shift I'd really want to do anymore. I've heard Grizzly many times over the years and he is a most enjoyable personality. I wish him the best.

That doesn't shock me at all. I'm surprised they even *pay* their employees to be honest.
