RAMP – Radio and Music Pros
Author (when available): kevincarter
• We were deeply saddened to learn that legendary Radio Hall of Fame personality Bob Rivers, a beloved fixture on Seattle morning radio (KISW, KZOK and KJR-FM) for 25 years, and the purveyor of his famous Twisted Tunes parodies, passed away Tuesday morning, March 11 in New Hampshire after a lengthy battle with cancer. He was 68 years old. The news was delivered to RAMP by Rivers’ longtime agent and friend, Paul Anderson.
Rivers is survived by his wife, Lisa; sons Andrew and Keith (wife Leanne); and granddaughters Hazel and Georgia Rivers. He is the eldest of seven siblings, including sisters Beth Doornweerd, Katherine Kenney, Mary Redman, & Patty Tedford, and brothers Michael and Richard Rivers.
A private service will be held on Friday in Claremont, NH, with a public memorial in Seattle TBA. We will have more details later.
For a more in-depth look at Rivers’ lengthy career and the very active life he continued to lead after his cancer diagnosis, we suggest you take the time to read Aspen Anderson‘s excellent Jan. 15th Seattle Times story.
