RIP Irv weinstein

Where does the time go? It was 37 years ago last time I watched Buffalo News. Irv Weinstein was a good guy.presumably. never heard otherwise. That means he was only 50. which is a lot younger than I am now. I remember a joke going around at the time. You know how in Buffalo a voice comes on at 11 and says "it's 11 o'clock. do you know where your children are?" well in Newfoundland the guy comes on and says "it's 11 o'clock. do you know what time it is?" RIP Irv.
 
How about Commander Tom (Jolls)?
And Jungle Jay (Nelson) who ended up on CHUM. Now you're old if you remember that guy.
 
I always liked Susan Banks on the Buffalo news.
 
RIP Irv. He was a legend.
 
That was a big deal when Jungle Jay came here. And I am not old.:p

I do remember Jay Nelson, and met his son once (Kevin, I believe) when he was starting his own radio career. He had a good laugh when I mentioned listening to "Jungle" Jay when I was a kid...
 
Irv was a legend, think his broadcasting career spanned almost six decades. Still cracks me up when someone says its eleven o'clock do you know where your children are! I remember one of my cousins friends that use to be a doorman at one of the fine gentleman's clubs across from Buffalo that Irv frequented saying how much the ladies loved Irv coming by after work. Apparently he was hoot to have a drink with & by all accounts quite the ladies man! I think even "the pistol packing punks" that are still alive while have toast for you & the "Buffalo blaze busters" will definitely have one or two in your honour... RIP Irv you were one of a kind
 
RIP Irv. I always liked the old style way he delivered the news. Straight and clear with no bias. IIRC, he retired on new year's eve around 1999. It was touching and he got a bit choked up.
