The management and staff at Kankakee Valley Broadcasting announced the loss of Tony “The Boss” Ross, long-time morning show host, general sales manager, and sportscaster at WYMR MAX 98.3 FM.
Tony Ross began his radio career at WKVI Radio in Knox and moved to work at WTCA in Plymouth for about 20 years. He made his move to MAX 98.3 FM when the frequency switched on the air in February 2015 and has been here ever since. He was dedicated to local radio.
Tony was a large part of the community and involved in many aspects. He mostly enjoyed his many hours of gathering statistics on the wide variety of sports games he would broadcast, so nothing was left out when noting an athlete's efforts.
He was a man of faith, did what he could for his family and friends, and he was a stranger to no one.
Tony's presence will be missed by his family, friends, co-workers, and members of the community, both on the air and in the press box.
Funeral arrangements are pending at this time.
