Tributes Floods Twitter

Jay Severin had the perfect word to describe me & others: Infomaniac. I listened to him faithfully every day & to say I learned a lot would be a huge understatement. I don’t think society knows what a powerful, invaluable, knowledgeable, entertaining, omniscient voice we’ve lost. https://t.co/ePijx0Lvjw
