Boston (WBZ Newsroom) -- A Boston radio legend has died. Longtime WBZ radio host Larry Glick died Thursday night in Florida after undergoing 10 hours of open heart surgery. He was 87. Glick graced WBZ's airwaves for 20 years, building up a faithful group of fans known as "Glicknics." Larry and WBZ-TV's Jack Williams (right) had been close friends since 1975. Jack made frequent appearances on Larry's talk show on WBZ. Larry retired to Florida, where he most recently worked as a greeter at Legal Sea Foods in Boca Raton. Glick leaves his wife Lisa and a daughter Tali, both in Forida, and a daughter, Nannette in the Boston area. Rest in Peace, Larry! &&&&&&&&& Larry Glick! By Steve Cichon Did you ever win a Glick University T-shirt? Are you a Glicknick? My fascination with The Glick Program started when my family lived in Holliston, Massachusetts for 3 years in the mid 80s.... That's when Larry was doing afternoon drive on WBZ... and I was mesmerized by the show... A Pint-sized Glicknick.
