Saddened by the passing of a Chicago original and a big part of my childhood.

Really saddened to see this. Just the other day (it may have been the day he died) I watched a pretty cool documentary on TV Horror Hosts called American Scary. There was was some good Svengoolie footage. Jeez, I remember Jerry G. when he was a WCFL morning DJ. That was probably about 1966.
