TRIBUTES

The Modesto Radio Museum presents stories, tales, and tributes to  local area broadcasters, engineers, newscasters, and personalities.    They were respected, and loved.   May they always be remembered.

Note: The names in blue are linked to obituaries/tributes which you can go to by clicking on them. We do have listed individuals for whom we do not have obituaries or information available for a post. If you have information for a person listed here we will be very happy to include it in the Radio Museum’s TRIBUTE page.  Thank you.
