WXRT radio listeners and colleagues are mourning the loss of Lin Brehmer, who died after a battle with prostate cancer.

Monday morning, his colleagues at the radio station remembered him.

"There was not a rock and roller like Lin Brehmer, who could rock with the best of them, give background on bands that you never knew, tell a story and then just off the top of his head recite poetry and prose," Miller said."He was just in a good mood all the time happy, laughing," Jasinski said. "He loved music. He loved people, food and everything apparently...just all around guy and I can't believe he's gone.

"I worked with him and plenty of people, family, friends, would ask, was he really like that? He's exactly like that," said co-worker Robbie Walker. In a segment called "Lin's Bin" he would answer listener questions with thoughtful essays, ending each one by saying, "Take nothing for granted. It's great to be alive."
