Gitschier was 56. He was the first person hired by Flagler Broadcasting, as Chief Engineer 10 years ago, to build Flagler County, Florida’s first radio station, WNZF, . Ron was a proud retired Navy veteran of 23 years who moved to Flagler County in 2003.
“Ron was heard on WNZF Local Morning News every day for the past 10 years,” said David Ayres, Flagler Broadcasting’s VP & GM. There’s a thousand things that can go wrong with four radio stations and Ron always kept things running smooth. As a radio reporter, he had great relationships and liked everybody he met. Ron was also instrumental in keeping all four radio stations on the air during severe storms and hurricanes.”
“Our entire staff is devastated over this sudden loss. Everybody who knew Ron loved him and he will be greatly missed,” Ayres said.
