This edition of Sky Studio is dedicated to Gerry Clifford

This edition of Sky Studio is dedicated to Gerry Clifford, who joined his former colleagues in Sky Studio October 4, 2018, in his 72nd year.

Jeff McNeice, Rogers Senior Announcer at Sault Ste. Marie’s Country 104.3 posted on the station’s Facebook that, “…we’ve lost a leader…. he taught me to have fun and enjoy each day.”  Jeff also posted, “Such a sad day in radio history. Gerry hosted us at his home in the SOO back in 1990. He managed the radio stations here for years. I have known him since the early 70's. Nobody set such a great example, the standard. The place we all needed to reach. Gerry made radio FUN!.. I played many parties at his place and did tons of remotes and on locations for Q104. Gerry is solely responsible for me remaining at Country 104.3. I called him one night in frenzy after being offered the am gig at CFYN AM 1050. Thank you for everything Gerry. You have signed off, but you are not forgotten my friend!”

Gerry also logged time at CFRA, Ottawa and CHRO, Pembroke.

On the obituary condolences Len Robinson says, “I remember him well coming from CFRA. He was a breath of fresh air radio in those days and a wonderful guy,” and Jayne Brophy adds, “As Manager of the Pembroke Mall, I worked on many promotions with Gerry when he worked for CHRO.”
