It is with great sadness that I share the passing of long-time station owner, Mr. Gary York. Mr. York was an integral part of the fabric of the communities that reach far and wide across the Yadkin Valley, leaving a lasting impression on so many.
Hanging in our front office, reads a poster that is WIFM’s call to action:
Be Generous To The Community
Advocate Worthy Causes
Speak For Those Who Need A Voice
And Mr. York truly lived those words daily.
Whether an interview on people doing good for others
An article in the communicator
Or his many photographs
He loved to bring people together and highlight folks doing great things in our communities.
We will remember with a smile, the many stories told, the infectious laugh, but most of all, Mr. York’s servants’ heart and benevolent spirit that taught us all, so many life lessons.
On behalf of the staff of WIFM, we appreciate your prayers in the days to come.
Gary Thomas York - well done, thou good and faithful servant.
