Radio host Jim Quinn passed today. I loved his show. Been listening to him for over 30 years. For me, it's like when we lost Rush.
Jim Quinn from Pittsburgh?
Yes.
Sad, I listened to him for many years. It was a golden age of conservative talk radio in Pittsburgh a few years back.
RIP.
I’ve met and spoken to him many times. He loved to bring his corvettes to the local car shows.
He was a true professional, very entertaining as well as knowledgeable.
Me too. Back in the day, wed do some rides together on our Harleys.
I was on his show many times. He and Rose were always good interviewers.
Not familiar with him, but understand the empty feeling that can be left when a near-daily radio companion is suddenly lost. Hope a promising replacement comes along for all who will miss the program.
Was that in the late 1990s?
Oh darn, I’ve listened in to him for many years. I was afraid something had gone wrong with his surgery when he didn’t come back on air when he had planned. I’m so sorry. RIP Jim, you were a good ‘un.
Great one.

Yes, they were talented on air hosts with a sense of humor. Jim Quinn and Mike Pintek were my favorites along with Rush . We had good radio to listen to all day..
I enjoyed listening to him and Rose on the morning drive on WKJK 1080AM in Louisville.
Passed what?
The bar?
Gas?
Out?
Sad to hear this. Listened to him for many years.
Ok fine. I was trying to be nice. He died.
Pittsburgh icon.
I’m here in Texas and accidentially found the Quinn & Rose show broadcasting online many years ago. I listened to their program almost daily. Those two were right up there at the very top of “must listen to” in my opinion. It’s sad to hear of his passing.
Wow. Was an avid listener for many years, lost track of him when his show went off the Pittsburgh station he had been at for years. He did a damn good job. R.I.P., Jim, you will be missed.
