SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — Jerry Cesak, a longtime San Diego radio legend, has died.

Cesak was one half of the iconic “Jeff and Jer Showgram” duo, who were a fixture in the morning radio scene in America’s Finest City for 27 years.

ABC 10News reported on Cesak’s retirement from broadcasting in 2015. Off the air, Jerry was a tireless advocate for animal welfare.

The former vice president of CBS Radio in San Diego says Cesak died peacefully Sunday in the arms of his wife, Pam.

He was 74.
