Radio disc jockey Uncle Joe Benson, whose deep voice rumbled over the airwaves of KLOS-FM, Arrow 93.1, and The Sound 103.1 for nearly four decades, died Tuesday, Feb. 24. He was 76.
“It is with great sadness that we share the news of legendary disc jockey Uncle Joe Benson’s passing,” read a post on the Uncle Joe’s Garage page on Facebook posted early Tuesday, Feb. 27. “Joe passed away peacefully from Parkinson’s disease, Parkinson’s dementia and complications of a fall.”
Accolades from fans, friends and peers in radio soon followed.
“A radio legend silenced,” wrote disc jockey Rita Wilde, who worked for many years alongside Benson at KLOS and The Sound. “Nothing but love and respect. At least you aren’t in pain anymore. Love you forever, JB.”
“What a legend,” commented disc jockey Frosty Stillwell, a former KLOS-FM host on the Frosty, Heidi & Frank morning show. “A giant in radio, a life well lived.”
