I noticed Jeff Douglas' name in the WHAS section. What happened to him? I seem to remember that he passed away when he was still working at the station. Is that true or is my memory faded after 30 years?
Thanks!
Mike

Jeff committed suicide in 1975. At the time, his wife, Eileen, was News Director at WKLO.

I found an article in an old Louisville Magazine that went into a little detail. The article was written by his daughter who came back to Louisville to visit.

I remember Jack Fox taking Jeff's place on the air the next day after Jeff committed suicide. The first song that Jack played that I thought was so appropriate was "The Long and Winding Road."

Hi Rachel - I used to baby sit you. I baby sat the night your dad committed suicide. Your mom wasn’t home, but you were a sleep and we lived in the same neighborhood. I was 11 but but mature as I had tons of cousins and was a momma bear and was so responsible. I remember your dad driving me home and he made small talk. He asked how everything was going in my ‘young life’. By that time we were in my drive way. I had school the next day and heard on the radio the next morning. I was profoundly depressed growing up, because I never understood. I am pretty sure I was the last person to see your dad alive.
