Hamilton County Mayor Jim Coppinger Monday said he was “deeply saddened” to learn of the passing of Luther Masingill.
“Luther is a Hamilton County icon, not only for his decades of broadcasting service, but for his community efforts throughout his memorable life. Luther impacted generations of people, not only in Hamilton County, but throughout the region with the announcements of school closings due to snow, returning lost pets to their owners or just bringing joy to us with his various radio and television programs.
“As a child like many others of my generation, I grew up listening to Luther. I had the pleasure of interacting with Luther throughout my public service career, and I always walked away from each encounter with a smile. Luther was unique, special, and beloved.
“Our thoughts and prayer are with Mary and their children, Joanie and Jeff.”
