HARRISBURG, December 16 – State Sen. Sean Logan (D-Allegheny/Westmoreland) today provided the following statement on the death of KDKA radio talk show host Fred Honsberger:

           "It is with great sadness that I learned today of the sudden passing of Fred Honsberger.  Fred was a Pittsburgh radio institution whose career spanned more than 30 years. 
 
            As a repeated guest on Fred's show, he treated me with respect and courtesy.  While we may have disagreed at times about an issue or my position, we were never disagreeable.    
 
            Fred was a constituent, an award-winning journalist and above all a radio professional.  He was a quick study, knew his subject matter well and was unafraid to ask challenging questions of public policymakers. 
 
            My thoughts and prayers go out today to Fred's family and his many friends.  Fred will be greatly missed by his listeners, colleagues and those who knew him well."
