RIP Jefferson Kaye

[Glenn Spatola]

Here's a more complete obit from Buffalo.

Jeff used the name "JK the DJ" on his earliest shows at WBZ.  He was one of 
my favorites both at BZ and at WKBW in Buffalo.  I'm sure many of you 
remember the now classic aircheck of his first show on KB where he gave the 
WBZ call letters a couple of times.

He was one of the most creative minds in radio, both as an on-air talent and 
program director, and it was sad to hear of his passing.
