That is sad news. My thoughts are with his family and co-workers. While I never met Mike, I have certainly enjoyed listening to his wonderful voice and easy style during annual vacations up river from St. Louis.

That is terrible news. On behalf of INBA, I extend our deepest condolences to Mr. Sampson's family, friends, co-workers and listeners.

Mike was one of the good guys, I knew him since his TV days at 2, he also was a good host on KETC Channel 9 fundraisers.
