Miami, Florida

A big thank you to Fred Swick for contributing this album to me so I could scan it and put it up on this site. Fred lived in Miami from 1949 to 1958 and Hialeah from 1958 to 1970. He now lives in Monroe, Ohio but gets back to Miami every once in a while.

Here's a brief bio of Jack from a WKLO (Louisville, KY) tribute page: Jack Sorbi WKLO jock in the late 1960s. Air Force veteran who attended Florida State University. He previously worked for WQAM, KIMN and WITH. Left WKLO for Indianapolis. Later went into sales and general management. Deceased. Jack's daughter Joanna writes: "Dad passed away from cancer in September of 2008. He was always working doing freelance and continuing to use his talent and personality to do sales and marketing for local non-profits like the Chamber and some political groups; however, semi-retirement allowed him to travel a bit more with Mum. Their last trip was touring Italy. We were with him at home where he kept his sense of humor until the end. He is dearly missed but we think probably doing talk radio in the sky!" Allen Bryan adds: "He and I were good buddies in those days. We both used to finish our air shifts at noon and then go to lunch together. We would normally eat at the Blue Boar cafeteria on Walnut about a block from the station. Jack was a great guy."

Barbara, what a nice thing to say about my dad. I never knew he had a fan club! I wish he was still with us so I could tease him about it! Joanna Sorbi

Jack was a real people person. What a nice guy. My sister was the president of his fan club at WQAM. Barbaea Newton McGeehan
