BDGiant93 Posted July 25, 2023 Posted July 25, 2023 Ron Sexton (aka Donnie Baker, Floyd the Trucker, Kenny Tarmac and so many others) was so amazingly talented. I met him early in my teaching career when I was the GM of WRFT at Franklin Central. He was a big time believer in the power of high school radio, which gave him his start. Many also don't realize that he was a talented sports anchor back in the Mark Patrick days at WISH-TV in Indy. He served on IHSAA broadcasts as well when WNDY had the rights to the state tourney. To say I knew him well would be an overstatement, but enough people who I know have nothing but high praise for him as a man. He'll be missed. Linked is one of my favorite Bob & Tom bits where two of Ron's characters met up in the Ronaverse. That guy was so talented. The degree of difficulty of this as a voice actor is ridiculous. 1 2 Quote
Impartial_Observer Posted July 25, 2023 Posted July 25, 2023 Making people laugh is one of the most difficult things to do. Mr Sexton was able to do that in spades. Thank you sir for your contribution to mankind, rest easy, I for one will miss your genius. 1 Quote
MonkeyButt Posted July 25, 2023 Posted July 25, 2023 Prayers for the family. I haven't been on here as long as many or most, but long enough to enjoy Donnie Baker's perspectives, input, jokes, and even being the butt of a few of his responses to my posts! RIP Donnie Baker! Quote
