For those of you who remember former KJRH Chief Meteorologist Gary Shore... he died of a heart attack today in Sioux City Iowa.  He had been working for KCAU for the past 6+ years there.  He was 55.

Weather at KJRH hasn't been the same since he left.  

Godspeed Gary.

Really good weather man without the hoopla.

Sad. Knew Gary early on. Paid no attention to his health.

I remember him well, he was a great weather guy. I think he was on back in the days of Jerry Webber and Karen Keith.

Yup, without the gray and a bit less filled out.  Surprised no one has a promo photo for when he was at 2.

"Tulsa weather IS predictable." was his tag line. He once forcasted snow when none of the other stations could see it coming. We got a LOT of snow. That made his rep and they ran those promos forever. In the long run, he was no better at forecasting than the others but became quite a presence on the screen.

I've been a meteorologist here in Tulsa for over 14 years...and had the pleasure of talking with and meeting Gary on several occasions. It's a good thing when the NWS can have a solid relationship with the media folk. Other cities aren't so lucky.

Gary was a strong Christian man and we'll miss him.

Almost. Gary would say Gary Shore was his real name. Otherwise, very good RM. As with you BB, why that question?
