Michael Medved's Dad has died

As many listeners know by now, Michael Medved's dad, David Medved, passed away last night after a battle with Lymphoma. Luckily, Michael and his brothers were able to be with him in the hospital last week and share some very good time together as a family. While they knew their dad was dying, his passing did happen sooner than expected.

I spoke with Michael about his dad on Michael's show today (I filled in). Michael had a stop-over in New York on his way to attend the funeral, and wanted to use the time to express his love for his dad on his show. And anyone who listened to it would have to be impressed by the emotional fortitude of Michael as you heard the love in his voice as he described how grateful he was for his time with his dad, and as he described his desire to celebrate a life well-lived.

As some of us at the station were talking about sending condolences to the Medveds, I realized that you too may want the chance to send your condolences or express them here. If you'd like to send the Medved's a card, the station address is:

1820 Eastlake Ave East, Seattle WA 98102

You can send them care of me or the Medved show, either way, it will get to him.
