We lost David Lamm today, a very sad day. We worked together 3 places, traveled together, laughed together. He hired me. Man did he help me. Jay Solomon, David, Greg Larson were our sports radio pioneers. I was the tag along in this story years ago. Rest easy, Uncle Dave. https://t.co/lpumVHIedE
Cannot begin to express the depth of sadness and a little guilt I feel hearing about passing of David Lamm. In my 43 years in Jax, there was no bigger media personality. We spoke last week and talked about me visiting him on Saturday. RIP, David. U will be missed.
Just found out that Jacksonville sports writing and radio icon David Lamm has passed away. He was a one-of-a-kind character and the only guy other than me who liked beer and tomato juice. You will be missed, Lamm Chops! https://t.co/1rOy7P1Ubs
