After a year-long battle with pancreatic and liver cancer, ENTERCOM Triple A WXRT/CHICAGO longtime MD JOHN FARNEDA died TUESDAY EVENING MARCH 9th. FARNEDA had also dealt with MS for many years. He died with his mother ROSE, brother LARRY and spouse FANIE by his side. He was 59 years old.
Morning host LIN BREHMER said, “Few people are blessed with the clarity JOHN FARNEDA had for his future. He loved music and he wanted to work in radio. More than that, he wanted to work at WXRT. At COLUMBIA COLLEGE, he told his favorite teacher, TERRI HEMMERT, that one way or another he had to work at WXRT. That was over 40 years ago.”
