Wino Jimmy funeral WQMF (May 26, 1983)

Wino Jimmy never meant any harm. He'd sleep in the shrubbery outside of WQMF studios in sleepy downtown Jeffersonville. Occasionally he'd accidentally urinate on Ron Clay's vespa scooter but so is life!Then...in the blink of an eye...Jimmy was gone. All of the world's biggest celebrities called The Show With No Name to express condolences. Ron & Terry were emotionally overwhelmed but still mustered the courage to come to work.Diamond John Otting, the WQMF owner, did not allow employees to miss work just to attend funerals because "The idiot is already dead...he doesn't know whether you showed up for his funeral. NOW GET BACK TO WORK!"We were stunned to know that Diamond John made an exception and allowed Terry to broadcast live from the Belvedere in downtown Louisville as Wino Jimmy was laid to rest in the murky Ohio River.Touching.
