News Media Reacts to Death of Bernie McGuirk

You believed in me when almost no one else did. You stayed loyal and loved me when it would have been easy to run I am beyond devastated. But I do have beautiful memories that provide me some solace as well as knowing you are no longer in pain. I will miss you & always love you. pic.twitter.com/6xrJdHQSD0

Bernie McGuirk is one of the reasons I’m here in New York. 20 years ago I applied for a job to work with Imus, and he helped hire me. He was also so supportive of my fight for families who lost loved ones in nursing homes. I’m grateful to have known him. God bless his family. ???????? https://t.co/rTmXqtomAx

Heartbreaking news. the great Bernard McGuirk has passed away. Bernie was a beloved colleague, competitor and friend. He’ll never be replaced or forgotten. With Imus, doing the Cardinal and all the other times he showed his brilliance. Pictured here with Noam Laden and Geraldo pic.twitter.com/rtqc9PfO46

As I was about to post an update on my status w prostate cancer I just found out that my friend Bernie McGuirk passed after suffering from it. If there’s any lesson to be learned: get your regular checkups. Doing so saved my life https://t.co/vKXQSHG637

Wow. RIP Bernie McGuirk. I couldn't stand Imus or most of his guests, but listened every morning just for Bernie. The guy was brilliant and fearless and funny as hell. He carried Imus for years. https://t.co/4JGIv9eQQt

Very sad news about Bernard Mcguirk a radio pro and the heart and soul of the Imus in the morning program for years. Bernie was also a great talk show host in his own right. Bernie passed away from cancer yesterday. So sad. #fcancer @77WABCradio @sidrosenberg

Sad news for any of our Imus in the Morning audience as Bernard McGuirk passed away over night from prostate cancer. Worked every morning with him for a decade and had a lot of great times with him. A perfect mix of talent and humor. “The Cardinal” bits were always legendary pic.twitter.com/NyMtSNXie0

I didn’t know Bernard McGuirk well, but when I was an intern at WFAN in 2003, he was incredibly nice/welcoming and shared a lot of knowledge/advice when he didn’t have to do it. From my experience, a very good man. And objectively, a radio legend. RIP

RIP Bernard McGuirk. Several years ago, I saw him in the Fox building and said, "Is that Antoine from the Bronx?" He laughed and said, "You still remember that, huh?" An unforgettable FAN moment.https://t.co/6ePOlAtgs5
