You may not have heard Jake Hartford unless you live around Chicagoland. Most of his radio career was on weekends on WLS-AM. His day job was working behind the scenes at WBBM-TV<\/p>\n
He recently started working as co-host of the late morning weekday show on WLS-AM<\/p>\n
His wife was named Miss Dill Pickle in her youth, Jake (whose real name was Jim Edwards) made himself the head of the Nate Clay fan club (Nate was a really awful weekend overnight host on WLS) and Jake probably was responsible for getting Indiana to finally accept daylight saving time.<\/p>\n
The Chicago newspapers say he was 63 years old and died of a heart attack.
