I could eat chili everyday! YUM YUM!
I have a favorite recipe at home...I'll have to post it later. It's an awesome vegetarian chili...TONS of veggies. I also have a favorite Cincinnati chili that's sure to clean out your spice rack (including the chocolate).

JD will be greatly missed.
I met JD in 2001 when I started in the WJVL news department. He was the constant highlight of working Saturday mornings. We shared many conversations. JD was sincere. It was not an act. I left the studio each of those Saturdays with a smile on my face, because the last person I talked to was JD.
One of the previous commentors mentioned JD’s ability to be funny, sincere, and empathetic all at the same time. I think it was his humility. He had a “radio” personality, without any of the negative stereotypes that go along with that label.
Many of the years I knew him, I was completely unaware of his background and experience. When I learned more about his background, I was not surprised to find out about all the success he’s had on radio. I was, however, surprised I had not heard about it sooner…another tribute to his humility.
His on air style was like nothing I’ve ever seen or heard before. Listening to him on the air was addicting, but watching him perform was remarkable. At the end of my shift, I would typically hang around to watch him go on the air at least once so I could study how he did it. He definitely “got” radio and commanded the stage in the theater of the mind…a rare talent.
I apologize to the family. I had hoped to make it to this morning’s services, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to make it. Be assured my memories of JD will be cherished, and my thoughts are with his family and loved ones.
So rare can you find a person to look up to both personally and professionally. Rarer still is a person with such a wonderful personality and generous heart.
I’ll miss you JD.
