The management and staff at Kankakee Valley Broadcasting are mourning 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 of organizations. He learned more about the impact of those organizations as he spotlighted guests on his morning show. He mostly enjoyed his many hours of gathering statistics on the games he would broadcast so nothing would be left out when noting the efforts of an athlete.

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, in the morning on the air, and in the press box at the game.

Funeral arrangements are pending at this time.
