Larry Norton made the following announcement Thursday morning during the Make-A-Wish Radio-thon:

After 40 years on the radio in Buffalo, and living my dream to be the The morning radio host for my generation, I have decided to “Turn the Page” to the next chapter of my life.  97rock has been, and will always be an amazing and inseparable part of me.  But now, Together with my wonderful wife Barbara who has supported me for 36 years as of this month, it is time to elevate our life from our many blessed successes, to a life of more significance.  

As of December we will be devoting more of our time to works of charity, for God and for our church. I can’t thank the people of Buffalo enough for their support for me and the charities of Western New York that together we have helped over the last 40 years.

From the entirety of my heart, thank you Buffalo!

Rock and Roll Never Forgets, and I will always Love You.

Stay tuned to 97 Rock for more details on Larry’s final days as our morning man.
