Terry Armour Dies

by Ron Bieber on Sunday, December 30, 2007

Sitting here this morning watching the news with Jonna, a story came on about the death of Terry Armour, Chicago Tribune columnist, co-host of the Stan and Terry show on WCKG and long time contributor to the Steve Dahl Show. There is a post from Stan on the Stan and Terry web site, as well as a post from Steve on Dahl.com.

I enjoyed listening to Terry on the radio over the years, first on the Dahl show and later on his and Stan’s show on coffee runs to Starbucks. For a while there, it was the only thing I listened to on the radio. He was entertaining and came across as an all around great guy.

May he rest in peace.
