Rich Lagerman
November 26, 2016
|
Rich Lagerman suddenly passed away at age 78 on November 26, 2016. Rich was a good friend to Jack Boland and Dale Temple for over 14 years, sharing the airwaves together at WRDV-FM radio. Rich hosted a show called "Original Bandbox" every Thursday night at 6:00 PM. Rich was a master magician/technician at taking old 78 RPM records, cleaning them up, restoring them and transferring them to CDs. Rich would do this process for Jack's shows Riding the Rails and Riding Off Into the Sunset. Rich was the King of the 78s. It was just amazing what he could do so that we're able to enjoy the music of the old and rare 78s. Rich just loved his music that he shared with all of his radio listeners. Read more on what Rich had to say about his radio show and the music he played. Click Here! "Richard Lagerman" was a talented and wonderful man who will be greatly missed by everyone at "WRDV-FM" radio. For more information go to Richard Lagerman's Obituary.
