[IRCA] The Passing of Chicago Radio Legend Larry Lujak
Chicago lost a radio legend yesterday with the passing of Radio Hall of Famer, Superjock Larry Lujak. His is noted for his famous Animal Stories. From the late 1960's through the 1980's he worked at both WLS 890 and WCFL 1000 and more recently a couple of other stations in Chicago. He began his career in radio in the northwest in the late 1950's.

Re: [IRCA] The Passing of Chicago Radio Legend Larry Lujak
W-L-S C-H-I-C-A-G-O! To a boy growing up in a small factory town in Tennessee, WLS represented everything cool in the world. Bright lights, big city, and rock and roll music. And the conductor of this wonderful circus was Larry Lujak. Man, wasn't Top 40 radio great? He was missed on the air, and he'll be missed here on earth. Hope the ether treats you kindly, Larry! 73, Les Rayburn, N1LF On 12/19/2013 11:31 AM, amd...@core.com wrote: Chicago lost a radio legend yesterday with the passing of Radio Hall of Famer, Superjock Larry Lujak.
