Saw that, while he never reflected much of what I was interested in, he was upbeat, professional and had a sense of humour, characteristics sadly lacking in many of his present day contemporaries. Know nothing about the bloke but I hope he had a good life. [Post edited 13 Feb 18:37]

RIP . People in tears on the wireless.
Listened to his afternoon show on my way home from work for nigh on thirty years.
A proper national treasure. | | | |

Very sad to hear of his passing.
What an absolute gentlemen he was, I always remember hearing him on Radio 2 in the afternoons.
RIP Steve, what an absolute icon of broadcasting. | | | |

First heard him on the local radio In Berkshire many-many years ago, he was good then and even better up to the present day.
RIP Mr Angry................. |  |

fond memories of Steve Wrights BBC Radio 2 show many years when I worked a dead-end factory job. Used to always enjoy the shows and hearing of his death sent me back to working that job. |  | | |

An absolute giant in broadcasting. Total trailblazer. Grew up laughing my head off to his shows. RIP |  |

Just found this out tonight and so so shocked. A fantastic broadcaster and like a lot on here spent a lifetime since the early 80s till today listening to him
For me he will be there with the likes of Tony Blackburn; Kenny Everett et al as true dj legends.
Since Radio 2 had their cull it really as not been the same, and when you listening now to it it seems to have lost its soul

I was never a big fan -- in fact for obvious musical preferences I avoided Radio One etc for years
However.....
As I got older and began driving holidays around the countryside of this fair Isle the only station I could get was Radio 2 and I really did warm to him over the latter years.
69 years old is no age.
Assume with the sudden nature it was a heart attack and I hope he is in that great DJ Booth in the sky enjoying himself (but not stopping Frankie Knuckles from being on the decks) | |

I started listening to his show when I took up driving trucks as there was nothing else to listen to back in the early 00’s.It was a good listen in those days with the old woman and people’s playlists at 3pm.
As soon as he started that serious jockin garbage though I found another station to listen to as I found him boring and repetitive.With the changes at Radio 2 in the last couple of years I was surprised he stayed at the station.He was a lot better than oj Borge and the rest of crap now on Radio 2.
RIP to him though and condolences to his family and friends. |  | | |

Been listening to Steve since I had a Stretch Armstrong, drove a mk2 Capri, could fit into 30 inch waist electric blue Lois Jumbo Cords and navigated my way through 2 divorces and 3 marriages.. His voice was part of my growing pains.
Just the Godfather, Tony Blackburn left now.
RIP Steve.
Man, i'll miss your voice. |  |

I was pretty shocked to read about his passing. Was never a regular listener but he was one of those DJ's that had worked his way up from hospital radio, local radio - had served his broadcasting apprenticeship. I know he had a huge and loyal audience - he certainly was a broadcasting institution, and by all accounts a lovely guy.
Sixty nine seems very young, he was such a bundle of energy it feels like he should have been going on for years yet.
RIP Steve. |  | | |

Was he the DJ that would shout "made up name"? That made me laugh. | |

I remember one of his characters always wore silk-lined lederhosen. |  |
