The TIMESUNION.com is reporting that BOB MASON, the former longtime Morning Host on iHEARTMEDIA Classic Rock WPYX (PYX 106)/ALBANY, NY, died SUNDAY (4/3). He was 72. A cause of death was not available. 

A post on the WPYX website said, "THE MASON AND SHEEHAN SHOW, as well as the MASON AND NASH SHOW, on PYX 106, were hugely popular in Capitland through the 80s and mid 90s. BOB MASON, 'The State Worker’s Friend'-was a larger-than-life personality. Hundreds of listeners attended every one of the many Breakfast Clubs. His trademarks with callers to the show included 'Goodbye Dummy' and 'You’re on the Nut Line', along with a cast of characters that included UNCLE VITO, 'Coach' CAMPBELL, HARRY ROBERTS, DANNY FERRIS, and so many more. The show also broadcast live from Mardi Gras in NEW ORLEANS, Bastille Day in PARIS, Octoberfest in MUNICH, MEMPHIS, LAS VEGAS, and several times from LONDON."

The TIMESUNION reports that MASON is survived by his wife of more than 30 years, SHEILA MOON. Funeral arrangements were unclear, and details of a public memorial celebration will be announced soon.
