When I first heard that radio pioneer Peter Cavanaugh had passed away at the age of 79, I’ll admit that I wasn’t surprised. After all, most everyone who knew him was aware of the serious health issues he battled for the past couple of years. Yet, knowledge of the illness that led to his death didn’t prevent me from being deeply overwhelmed by a profound sense of sadness and loss. This was the man who gave me and so many others their successful careers in broadcasting, and delighted listeners with his infectious enthusiasm and “theater of mind’’ promotions; but now … the universe had a vast void that could never be filled.
