Local sports radio host Bob Holder has passed away at the age of 62. He passed away this past Saturday, August 30th.
I never had the opportunity to meet him.
Holder was a Saturday morning show host on WAEB and a graduate of Whitehall High School, where he was a member of the Zephyrs' 1980 championship baseball team.
According to WFMZ News, the 62-year-old died of natural causes.
Senior Vice President of Programming at IHeartMedia, Craig Stevens, said co-workers found Holder in his home, slumped over, coffee pot hot, cup still full, dog by his side. This, after he didn't show up for work on Saturday.
A viewing is scheduled for 12 p.m. Thursday at the O'Donnell Funeral Home in Allentown.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends, coworkers, and all who loved and knew him.
