We just lost actor Jerry Fogel, best known for his role as son-in-law, Jerome “Jerry” Buell on the NBC sitcom, The Mothers-in-Law. Around here at 94.7 WLS, however, Fogel is better known as the father of our own Dave Fogel.
Like-father-like-son, Jerry Fogel had an illustrious career in radio. Before he appeared on people’s televisions, Fogel could be heard on WBBF Radio in Rochester. He would eventually return to the mic as co-host of a talkshow in Kansas City.
