Ric Supple, local businessman and philanthropist, dies at 95
His daughter, Judith Supple Freiha, said his death was attributed to natural causes.
In the late 60s, the Supples built a radio empire in the Coachella Valley called R&R Broadcasting. It pioneered new formats, particularly talk radio. In 2015, after almost 50 years in business, Ric and wife, Rozene, decided to wind down their radio business.
Palm Springs Historical Society President Tracy Conrad, a neighbor, described Ric as clever and funny. He was so quick-witted and always the most sparkling of conversationalists, Conrad said.
Mike Meenan, who was employed at KPSI by the Supples, from 1982-2000, before he relocated to San Francisco, said working for them was like being a member of a family. He suffered a detached retina in 1984 and was out for two months while doctors saved his vision. He said the Supples continued to pay him his salary.

Allergies in the desert are unfortunately experienced by some all year round. “I get nasal congestion, post nasal drop, a lot of itchiness around my skin,” said Ana Delgado, a resident of Indio.
