Fans, friends and family are remembering Larry “Doc” Elliott, best known to Detroiters for his stints on radio stations WJZZ, WCHB, WJLB and WHYT, who died Wednesday at the age of 61 from complications of a stroke. He had been in hospice care.
Known for his smooth on-air style that matched his personality, Elliott was born in Koziousko, Mississippi and knew early on that he wanted a career in radio broadcasting.
Elliott’s daughter, Shelarri Anderson, one of his nine children, went online to thank the many people who have been supportive throughout this difficult period.
The radio veteran also worked in Columbus, Ohio; Saginaw, Michigan; Washington, D.C., Milwaukee, Atlanta and San Francisco.
