Roy Leonard was a fixture on WGN 9 & 720 AM for about 3 decades. In addition to hosting a midday radio show, Leonard got lots of face time on Channel 9 with his own entertainment reports and succeeding the late, great Frazier Thomas on "Family Classics" in the late '80s and into the '90s.

Seems hard to believe Leonard died of complications from an esophageal infection in 2014 at age 83 in 2014.
