(Aitkin, MN) — Home Grown Local Radio learned on the evening of Tuesday January 11th the passing of former ‘Voice of the Gobblers’ and longtime sports announcer Bill Stimac passed away from COVID-19 complications.

Stimac was a stalwart announcer for Gobbler Sports and for KKIN Radio. While also filling in to cover area teams when called upon, he also co-hosted a Monday Morning Sports Call-In Show with Tom Martin, which they lovingly dubbed themselves the “Sports Geniuses”.

We, at KKIN and R&J Broadcasting, Inc, would like to extend our thoughts and prayers to Bill’s family during this difficult time.

Funeral arrangements are currently pending.
