R.I.P.: CBS Radio Seattle Engineer Arne Skoog

Arne Skoog
The CBS Radio cluster in Seattle lost a colleague on Monday with the passing of long-time engineer Arne Skoog.

He died from colon cancer.

Cluster station KZOK 102.5 FM paid tribute with a postings on its website saying “Arne was a good soul and a pleasure to be around”. 
Chief engineer Tom McGinley arrived in Seattle 13 years ago and worked side-by-side with Arne ever since. Tom said of Arne, “He could fix almost anything — and best of all, he was so gentle and kind to everyone, always willing to help in any way he could …. He will be missed beyond words.” 
At radio stations — or any type of broadcast company, engineers can sometimes carry a reputation of being high-strung and impatient with co-workers who don’t completely understand how things operate. This was never the case with Arne. He was always willing to help with issues, explain why things were acting a certain way and never questioned why you were asking a favor of him.
