RIP to Big Daddy Graham former overnight host on WIP
For a lot of years I worked midnight shift and listened to his show. I know he had some health issues the last couple years.
Was sad to hear about Big Daddy during Phils broadcast. Correct J, his health deteriorated this past year. I believe he was bed ridden for sometime.
With the time difference I would listen to Big Daddy at my desk in the late evenings. Always liked his show as it was more than sports. Talked about different concerts he'd been to, venues, music, travels, movies, food, good stuff.
RIP Big Daddy
Yeah man. He talked about it all. When I was doing the late shifts it helped pass the hours.
He beat cancer and then had that spinal cord injury that paralyzed him and he never really recovered
