It is with great sadness that I announce that long time volunteer and life member of 979fm Melton Community Radio Leo “The Tiger” Johnson passed away last night after a long battle with brain tumours.
Leo was a much loved member of the 979fm family. As I said a few years ago when he was made a life member of the station, Tiger treated everyone like they were his best friend and made you feel like the most important person in the world. He greeted everyone, whether he knew them or not, with the phrase “How ya goin’ mate?”. He will be remembered not just at 979fm but in the wider community for his great sense of humour and his commitment to the community.
My thoughts go out to his wife Elaine, his family, and his many, many friends. I will post funeral details when they come to hand.

My condolence
Rest in peace Tiger I salute you you are the best a great announcer and a good friend you will be missed
Salute Sir Tiger
