Roby Yonge was well known on WQAM, Miami, where he worked with Rick Shaw in the early 1960's. Later he joined WABC, New York, where he worked with Herb Oscar Anderson and Dan Ingram.

In Miami, he was well known on the beach - and on the air - as "The Big Kahuna". It was the most exciting and wonderful of times - worth reliving over and over....according to deejay Bob Todd. Roby taught Todd to surf off Miami. (See link to Roby's scrapbook below.)

Roby's life was not without tragedy as revealed in a phone call from his mother in 2001. He died in 1997 in Florida. See recording below.
