Sad
to hear of the passing of my friend Tony Igar. Working at WKGN in the
70s the station was bought by Lamar which brought a host of Alabama boys
to Knoxville. One of those was former announcer and now sales
executive, Tony Igar. Self-titled “World Famous” eventually came true.
After a successful career in sales at WIVK, Tony and His wonderful wife,
Maria moved to San Diego. Tony decided to be a boat Captain, no small
task. He did and he captained ships across the Pacific. We
visited them once in San Diego and he took Kim, Jake and me on a sunset
sail out of the San Diego marina. Then Tony decided he would learn to
play the harmonica and he played in several bands. They moved to
Huntington Beach and we visited them there going out for a fun dinner
then a visit at the condo. Rest In Peace my friend, you sir lived a life
to the fullest. Prayers for his lifelong love, Maria.
