<p>People die that you only know on radio and TV and pause a moment for reflection but they don't really impact your thoughts too much.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Today the sidekick and engineer of Neal Boortz' talk show collapsed and died at his home. He was only 43. I used to love listening to him on the radio. He was a class act, could talk both sides of an issue, keeping not only calm but a sense of humor. So different from Neal Boortz. His talk show, "The Royal Treatment" lasted only a few years and I hated when it went off the air. He also did stand up comedian routines.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So, to repeat one of Royal's favorite lines on the talk show after speaking to someone, "just damn".</p>
<p> </p>
<p>RIP Royal. Heaven will be rolling in laughter tonight.</p>
